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.
