strings.TrimLeft removes extra char

[Archos]

It looks that strings.TrimLeft has a bug since it is removing an extra
character

===
package main

import (
"fmt"
"strings"
)

func main() {
file := "/var/tmp/servoconf/"
fmt.Println(strings.TrimLeft(file, "/var/tmp"))
}
===
The ouput is `servoconf/` but it's expected `/servoconf/`

You misunderstand how strings.TrimLeft works.
http://golang.org/pkg/strings/#TrimLeft

As a hint, if you used strings.TrimLeft(file, "/amprtv") then your
program would work the same.

Here is an example to illustrate the difference.

http://play.golang.org/p/7GUhO3rV77

a:= "t-est.ing this function"

fmt.Println(strings.TrimLeft(a,"tset. -hing"))

fmt.Println(strings.TrimPrefix(a,"test")

------------

function

.ing this function

Note that the second argument to TrimLeft represents a /set/ of

characters, not a /sequence/. / is in the set of characters to remove.

It's also worth noticing that the original post was from October 2011.
