One of the many annoyances of writing real-world AI programs is having to write this function; to replace the broken system functions that are supposed to do this, but which don't work properly with control characters, UNICODE characters that should be considered to be whitespace (e.g. long spaces), etc. Clearly, some "intelligent" humans haven't yet mastered this algorithm, and ordinary software testing methods have failed to disclose the remaining bugs.
