Thanks guys for stepping in! José Valim, maybe people haven't yet stepped in because this proposal is no rocket science GenServer or the likes ;-) I definitely think it would contribute to make Elixir more beautiful. Don't you think it expresses much better the intention of the code if we were able to write String.remove instead of replacing with white spaces?
