Remove all mentions of the strop module -- it has been pronounced Evil.
(The string "strop" is found in the rexec documentation, but that should
not be changed until strop is actually removed or rexec no longer allows
it.)

-This module is implemented in Python. Much of its functionality has
-been reimplemented in the built-in module
-\module{strop}\refbimodindex{strop}. However, you
-should \emph{never} import the latter module directly. When
-\module{string} discovers that \module{strop} exists, it transparently
-replaces parts of itself with the implementation from \module{strop}.
-After initialization, there is \emph{no} overhead in using
-\module{string} instead of \module{strop}.
