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.
