Equivalent of Perl chomp?

[Paul Watson]

I hope they do implement your request, Simon.  At the same time,
string.chomp should be made an alias for string.rstrip(os.linesep).

The worst thing this would do might be to let Perl programmers get into
Python a little faster and easier.  Is there some evil there that I am
missing?
