Now that you mention it, that is also a good point. I feel they
should indeed be called stripFront and stripBack.
@jmdavis, @andrejmitrovic: how would you feel about such a change?
It's funny that you should tag us two, I've asked about this here:

Only got one reply, from JMD:
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/1201#issuecomment-17984774
And it wasn't talked about since. I think using the alias approach
would work, IOW std.array could use stripLeft/stripRight aliases to
stripFront/stripBack which would be in std.algorithm. There's
certainly nothing "left/right" about ranges.
Should we fix this before the release is made? What do Andrei and others think?
I'm okay with either choice, just not both. There's precedent in other
languages for stripLeft and stripRight, but stripFront/Back are closer
to D's terminology. I have a very mild preference for the latter.
Thanks,
Andrei
