Sorry, another niggle re handling an empty affix: With your Python
implementation,
'aba'.cutprefix(('', 'a')) == 'aba'
'aba'.cutsuffix(('', 'a')) == 'ab'
This seems surprising.
That surprises me too. I expect the first matching affix to be used. It
is the only way for the caller to have a predictable policy.
As a diversion, _are_ there use cases where an empty affix is useful or
reasonable or likely?
