  I've always considered this a different operation from
rstrip().  When you intend to be as surgical in your changes
as possible, it is important *not* to use rstrip().
  I don't feel strongly that it needs to be implemented in
C, though I imagine people who do a lot of string processing
feel otherwise.  It's just hard to beat the performance
difference if you are doing this a lot.
