Re: RFC 195 (v1) Retire chop().

[Eric Roode]

Does anyone EVER use chomp() except shortly after reading a line
of input from a stream?  No?

Perhaps $/ and $\ should become per-filehandle variables, and 
there should be some way to set autochomp-on-read per filehandle,
and auto-newline-on-output per filehandle.

Then, if anyone ever needs to remove $/ from the end of a string 
at any other time, they can s,$/$,,
