How about .trim(:start) and .trim(:end)?
And .trim(:both) for orthogonality.

Seems Larry's agreed to the .trim method. There are bits that are not agreed
upon, so this patch only implements what we've agreed upon. It relies on the
new S29-str/trim.t test in pugs. I committed that earlier and updated
t/spectest.data.
In other words, the patch is a tad clearer and no

Alternatively, those could be ltrim() and rtrim(). If you need to dynamically
determine what you're going to trim, you'd couldn't just set va

Well, given that .trim is essentially just .comb(/\S.*\S/), which in
turn is really just m:g/(\S.*\S)/, I don't see much

In the pir, doesn't the "s = self" line copy self, thus ensuring that I'm changing "s" and not "self"?
No, it's binding.
Or do I need "s = clone self" (or however it's written).
Yeah, but also note that substr would return a copy...

Hmm, I'd think .trim should work like .chomp, and return the trimmed
string without changing the original. You'd use $str.=trim to do it
in place.
Can't say I really like the negated optio

RTL (and bidi) languages are written in strings so that the character
