Some days ago, I proposed to add an optional argument NO_PROPERTIES to
the existing substring function rather than adding the new
substring-no-properties function.  If the arg in non-nil, substring
would not copy the text propertiesof the substring.

The rationale is: why copy properties and then remove them, instead of
not copying them in the first place.

Of course, substring-no-properties would be a trivial addition if
you insist...; just declare it as  (substring .... t)
