Use "without" as the action picking up on "with" as in startswith, endswith:
new_string = a_string.withoutprefix( prefix )
new_string = a_sring.withoutsuffix( suffix )
And since we have "replace" "remove" would also seem
obvious.
new_string = a_string.removeprefix( prefix )
new_string = a_sring.removesuffix( suffix )
I know that some commented that remove sounds like its inplace.
But then so does replace.
Would "replacesuffix" and "replaceprefix" work? I'd default
the "replacement" to the empty string "".
new_string = a_string.replaceprefix( old_prefix, replacement )
new_string = a_sring.replacesuffix( old_suffix, replacement )
