Added.

> strip("unused", "clang -Wunused foo.cc") => clang foo.cc ?

No, we only strip clang args or flag names, not flag args (confusing terminology).
-W will strip -Wunused (flag name). -Wunused will strip -Wunused (clang arg). -W* will strip -Wunused (clang arg). but "unused" doesn't match - it's not the name of a flag, and it's not the arg either.

> strip("-W", "clang -Wunused -Wextra foo.cc") => clang foo.cc // remove all -W flags ?

Yes

> strip("error=unused", "clang -Wunused -Werror=unused -Werror=date-time foo.cc") => clang -Wunused -Werror=date-time foo.cc?

No, again we don't strip flag args.
(It's not clear how useful/easy to use this would be, maybe we can re-examine later?)
