So I finally found the time to finish modifying chomp() and friends.

More importantly, in writing unit tests for them, I actually
discovered what they do!  Armed with this newfound knowledge, I picked
the following names:

slice  -- remove the last newline and what follows

slice -- remove the last sep and what follows
sliceRemainder -- find the last sep; return what follows

sliceFirst -- remove the first sep and what follows
sliceFirstRemainder -- find the first sep; return what follows

Please check StringUtilsTest if you're confused about the usage.

The old methods (getchomp, prechomp, chompLast, etc.) are now
deprecated.  At some point they should disappear altogether; they
should probably be on the chopping block (or is that chomping block?
:-)) no later than a 3.0 release.
