docs: translate(s,table [,deletions]) -> string
  
      Return a copy of the string s, where all characters occurring
      in the optional argument deletions are removed, and the
      remaining characters have been mapped through the given
      translation table, which must be a string of length 256.  The
      deletions argument is not allowed for Unicode strings.
