Correct, but I don't like the word "cut" because it suggests that
something is cut into pieces which can be used later separately.
I'd propose to use "trim" instead of "cut" because it makes clear that
something is cut off and discarded, and it is clearly different from
"strip".
Please, NO. "trim" is a VERY well known PHP function, and does what our
strip does. I've very against this (otherwise fine) word for this
reason.
I still prefer "cut", though the consensus seems to be for "strip".
