Well, I certainly didn't want to reinvent the wheel. But all existing
solutions I was able to find either relied on a third part library
(shrinksafe) or had license not compatible with ASL. So I just wrote a
simple stripper. I think it still helps a lot, I didn't want to build a
perfect stripper.

If you know of a solution that doesn't mean another dependency and is
compatible with ASL, I have no objections.
