module Puppet::Parser::Functions
  newfunction(:chop, :type => :rvalue, :doc => <<-'EOS'
    Returns a new string with the last character removed. If the string ends 
    with `\r\n`, both characters are removed. Applying chop to an empty 
    string returns an empty string. If you wish to merely remove record 
    separators then you should use the `chomp` function.
    Requires a string or array of strings as input.
