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.)

The case conversion functions in the

settings. When a call to the \function{setlocale()} function changes

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}.
