Concerning the naming of truncate(), would it be possible to

feel too that "truncate" is a misleading term, that had better be
replaced asap.
There's something to be said for that, but there's also
something to be said for following established conventions,
and there's a long-established precedent from the C library
for having a function called truncate() that behaves this
way.
But Python isn't C. :-)
