bytearray has many methods that return a new bytearray object rather than applying the transformation to modify the bytearray in place. Given that one use of bytearray's is to avoid making extra copies... There should be in-place variants of the following methods: ljust lower lstrip rjust rstrip strip swapcase title translate upper especially so for the methods that don't change the length or move data around such as translate, lower, upper, swapcase and title.
