In chromatic's latest "Perl 6 Design Minutes" post (http://use.perl.org/~chromatic/journal/38334), he writes
"Missing a discussion on.trim and gilding the lily." Nicholas: * if I wanted PHP I know where to find it So there's a lot of context missing there and I'm unsure of what this implies, but if it's deemed that .trim and friends are too much, so be it. I would submit that .chop is also a great candidate for removal (.chop? Why is it even in there?) Is there guidance on where to go from here or what the balance is between convenience functions and the bare minimum?
