How did I miss these functions getting added to Python?
Starting in Python 3.9, `s.removeprefix()` and `s.removesuffix()` were added as `str` built-ins. Which easily covers all the versions of Python I currently support.
## Usage for `removeprefix()`:
“`python
>>> ‘Spam, Spam’.removeprefix(‘Spam’)
‘, Spam’
>>> ‘Spam, Spam’.removeprefix(‘This is not in the prefix’)
‘Spam, Spam’
“`
## Usage for `removesuffix()`:
“`python
>>> ‘Spam, Spam’.removesuffix(‘Spam’)
‘Spam, ‘
>>> ‘Spam, Spam’.removesuffix(‘This is not in the suffix’)
‘Spam, Spam’
“`
