diff Lib/UserString.py @ 23015:202ae5b75cca legacy-trunk

Partially implement SF feature request 444708. Add optional arg to string methods strip(), lstrip(), rstrip(). The optional arg specifies characters to delete. Also for UserString. Still to do: - Misc/NEWS - LaTeX docs (I did the docstrings though) - Unicode methods, and Unicode support in the string methods.
