In {str,bytes}.strip(chars), multiple characters are not treated as a
prefix/suffix, but as individual characters. This may make users confuse
whether split has similar behavior.
Users may incorrectly expect that
'Good morning, John.'.split(', .') == ['Good', 'morning', 'John']

Adding a bit of clarification in the doc.

(cherry picked from commit 892e3a1)
