Well, not lately. There's
$chopped = substr($line, -1, 1, "");
But I think chip/chop will likely be in * just for handiness. And if
chomp is chomping and returning the terminator as determined by the
line input layer, then chimp would have to return the actual line and
leave just the terminator. :-)
