Hi --

To atone for the fact that my earlier suggestions didn't do what the
original post asked for (as pointed out by Dossy on irc), I have
written a version that passes Dossy's tests.

Here's my version:

  class String
    def stripQuotes
      /^("?)(.*?)(\1)$/.match(self)[2].strip
    end
  end

and one contribution to the test suite:

  def test_empty_string
    assert_equal("", "".stripQuotes)
  end
