Indeed, it's not used very often (among other things because it
requires using a shell, and hence requires quoting).
But even when it's used, the output is often more than a single line.
I'm not saying we never need to trim a terminating newline, I'm just
saying that it's not a particularly common operation, so that providing
something like string-chop for it doesn't seem very useful.
