Subject: lose the first character

        r = r.reverse.chop.reverse  # remove the first character

That works, but I bet there's a nicer method. What do people use? I
thought there would be a pohc method (chop, in reverse).

Thanks.

(pickaxe is up in the other window, I see other ways, but I am curious
if people use one clear word, like chop!)
