Skill: Trimming the whitespace off both ends of a character string.
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.
