Is there a reason to not have String.chomp?

[meh.]

I'm writing an IRC server and I need to chomp the incoming line, strip
would also remove leading whitespace which I don't want to happen.

I'd use String.rstrip/2 but I'd need to chomp /\r?\n$/ and I'd rather
not use a full blown regex for something like this.

Any suggestions? Or want a pull for String.chomp?

Wouldn't String.rstrip/1 do what you need or do you want to avoid
stripping trailing spaces?

I want to keep the trailing spaces.

We have rstrip/2. It could take a list of characters or even strings as the second argument. This would be somewhat analogous to how contains? works today.

That would be perfect.
