Thanks to all for these code snippets. Peter's solution is the winner -
most elegant and also the fastest. With an additional list comprehension
to remove the possible empty strings at the start and at the end I get
16 us. Interesting is that Xavier's solution (which is similar to
some code that I wrote myself) isn't so much slower; it get timings of
around 22 us.
