Hey all, not sure if I'm just missing some obvious source of
information, but I used trim() as a function in a cookbook example,
then realized that it's not even in S29...

There is a brief mention of trim(), as well as words() (odd as the
words() function may seem, to me at least), at
http://tinyurl.com/6fjda but it hardly seems definitive.

Trim sure is handy and would get used a lot, I think. But boy do I
need to study up on my Unicode: I have such a hard time believing that
words() is practical for CJK. It sure would be cool I guess, if that
did work.

Any validation on whether either, both, or neither of those functions
is supposed to exist?

Just to throw another question in the works and perhaps gunk up the
machine, the link above also talks about whether or not these
functions would exist as methods to strings and arrays. I'm certainly
not clear on what the outcome of that is? I've been writing examples
as if that's a possibility and no one seems to be disputing those, so
I apologize if I just need to be pointed to where methods v functions
is clarified.

Perhaps a good "next" synopsis would be to start putting some docs
around the String and Array object methods? Again, sorry if I'm
missing that in some obvious location already.

Thanks!

Marcus
