Line 4:
Removing a '''defined subset''' of glyphs from a string seems interesting, but what do we want the meaning of ''vowel'' to be here in terms of the accented vowels used by most Roman scripts, or in the terms of South Asian scripts, Levantine scripts, CJK, Cyrillic, and, in the context of the Rosetta Stone which gives its name to this page, and is displayed in one corner of it, Greek, Demotic, and Hieroglyphic ?

:Whatever we name it, many of the implementations do not create another string minus the glyphs, they simply output a series of characters omitting the glyphs. The description appears to require a new string to be constructed, or the original string to be modified. -- [[User:Adadaddy|Adadaddy]] ([[User talk:Adadaddy|talk}}) 18:08, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
:: Really? Only C, D, and Prolog, and now Fortran, fail to construct a string afaict. --[[User:Petelomax|Pete Lomax]] ([[User talk:Petelomax|talk]]) 19:05, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
:The task description should probably be '''Remove a defined subset of glyphs from a string'''. Knowing RC we'll probably have a task '''Remove consonants from a string''' next week. Then RC would not need to be too worried about the definition of vowel.--[[User:Nigel Galloway|Nigel Galloway]] ([[User talk:Nigel Galloway|talk]]) 15:14, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

:::That should, at least, forestall any further trivial variants, without imposing much (or any) editing on the existing drafts. [[User:Hout|Hout]] ([[User talk:Hout|talk]]) 19:05, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
:::: Maybe name it something like [[Strip_a_set_of_characters_from_a_string]]? Oh... wait a minute... The really sad part is that the "author" of ''this'' task added the Ring entry on ''that'' page.--[[User:Thundergnat|Thundergnat]] ([[User talk:Thundergnat|talk]]) 13:04, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
