Str.dedent vs str.removeindent

FYI that discussion was continued in another thread:

Practical applications of string-like bytes methods?

Continuing the discussion from Str.dedent vs str.removeindent: I have been wondering, given my own distaste for those methods (explained earlier in that thread) - have there been any surveys of the use of text-like bytes methods in 3.x code “in the wild”? I understand that it doesn’t accomplish much to just remove existing functionality (I can’t see how it would meaningfully allow for optimization), and I assume that changing the repr for the type is a non-starter - which is why I’m not postin…
