that is a faq but you may have a point.
others would argue that "hey, i have to enter a newline otherwise you wont accept it, and now you're telling me to chop it off?!".
maybe, we can we have #gets2 or #input (for lack of better a word) that automatically chops newline if there is one, orthogonal to #puts putting one if there is none.
