rtrim(str1, str2) docs incorrect

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. SELECT RTRIM("TestString", "String")

What is the expected output? "Test"
What do you see instead? "Tes"

Works as intended with regexp_replace().

Sorry, this is a bug in our documentation. The intended purpose for the second 
argument is to give a set of characters to remove from the first string. So 
because 't' is one of the characters in the second string, it is removed from 
the string in the first argument.

We'll get the docs fixed. My apologies!
