I'm okay with either choice, just not both. There's precedent in other

Funny you should say that, because my first reflex was to google search
"stripLeft" to see if there was a precedent for it, and found nothing
outside of dlang.
Who else uses "stripLeft" in their standard library?
I vote to change the names to stripFront/stripBack, and make deprecated
aliases of stripLeft/stripRight in std.string.
I could have sworn googling for them would return a bunch of languages
and libraries. I could only find on Haskell library. But then I could
only find one library using stringFront/Back.
Since we've already had stripLeft/Back for strings, I vote to stop this
changing names nonsense. Either pair is good, and we've voted for one
already.
