Subject: Question regarding tr method in Strings Class

Is there a way to denote a null in the replacement for a character using 
this method?  For example, if I have a = "Jones,Ja'me" and I want to 
convert the comma to a space and remove the apostrophe without placing a 
character in there.  I know I can use a.tr(",", " ").tr("'", "") to get 
the desired result but would prefer to be able to say something like 
a.tr(",'", " ") and have it remove the apostrophe and replace the comma 
in one step.  Besides, if I am going to be removing a lot of punctuation 
the string could get very long and complicated.
