Sorry, my English and my typing went out-of-sync :<}}
I did look at the change on CVSweb first.

4)  rstrip removes "\0" or sequence of "\0" from the end of string,
    lstrip doesn't remove any "\0" or sequence of "\0" from the start
    of string (only ISSPACE() or sequence of).
2)  feature is added elsewhere.
3)  change is backed-out and forgotten.

There was never a 1), it was just a bad dream.
Now, our list is messy but you've coerced my votes into a sequence.

Thanks,
