[issue36410] Proposal to make strip/lstrip/rstrip more explicit

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <raymond.hettinger at gmail.com> added the comment:

Generally, we don't make changes that would break existing code relying on the documented and tested behavior.

If you would like to propose a new method, the python-ideas mailing list would be a good place to start.

>>> s[len('mailto:'):] if s.startswith('mailto:') else s
'maria at gmail.com'
