Improved readability

The # symbol is typically leading comments or even just the first char in hashtags, so it's a common prefix. The purpose of both modifiers is to remove, one just removes a prefix (#), the other removes the suffix (%). | |

| Jan 13, 2017 at 19:56 | comment | added | DS. | Mnemonic: "#" is to the left of "%" on a standard keyboard, so "#" removes a prefix (on the left), and "%" removes a suffix (on the right). | |

| May 1, 2015 at 20:19 | comment | added | Steven Lu | Dunno about "absence of bashisms" considering that this is already moderately cryptic .... if your delimiter is a newline instead of a hyphen, then it becomes even more cryptic. On the other hand, it works with newlines, so there's that. | |
