+1 on "remove*" for the same reasons as "trim*".
And if no consensus is reached in this thread for a name I would assume the SC is going
to ultimately decide on the name if the PEP is accepted as the burden of being known as
"the person who chose _those_ method names on str" is more than any one person
should have bear. ;)
-1 on "cut*" (feels too much like what .partition() does)
-0 on "trim*" (this is the name used in .NET instead of "strip", so I foresee
new confusion)
+1 on "remove*" (because this is exactly what it does)
I actually prefer "without*" because it seems more descriptive, but I don't
expect it to get any traction.
So "remove" would get my +1.
I still think "strip" is the most optimal, as strip, stripprefix, and stripsuffix would
all be together -- but if that's not going to happen, "remove" is good.
+2 on "strip" ;-)
+1 on "remove"
