Congratulations, Dennis!
Not 10 minutes ago I was writing code that could have used this
functionality. And I got it wrong on my first attempt! I'm looking
forward to it in 3.9.

Hi,
The Python Steering Council accepts the PEP 616 "String methods to
remove prefixes and suffixes":

Congrats Dennis Sweeney!
We just have one last request: we expect the documentation to explain
well the difference between removeprefix()/removesuffix() and
lstrip()/strip()/rstrip(), since it is the rationale of the PEP ;-)
You can find the WIP implementation at:
