Done.

Done.

To me, "skip" and "strip" mean slightly different things:

* "skip" means to skip over unrelated items in something like a stream or list.

* "strip" means to remove possibly related items, e.g., the beginning '[' and ending ']' of a JSON array.

* I personally haven't seen "chop," but that means to remove something from the end only.
