  ============================
  
+ - Make all the strip, lstrip, rstrip functions/methods on
+   string/unicode/UserString consistent by adding and/or
+   documenting the chars parameter.  The chars parameter
+   specifies which characters to strip.
+ 
  - Some horridly obscure problems were fixed involving interaction
    between garbage collection and classes with "ambitious" getattr hooks.
