I would prefer explisit names: trim_left, trim_right,... I'm open for discussion about this. You are probably right. More peaole were asking for more readable names. I will probably rename them soon.
> 2. Where do you specify what to trim? What If I want to trim "<>" This is good point. Currently you can override isspace function, I think I can provide variants with explicit predicate so everyone can write one he needs. > 3. why do we need not _in functions? > If you want it that bad you could do something like: > Seq& trim_copy( Seq& input, Seq& trim_func( Seq&, const std::locale& ) ); I have tried to explain my reasons in the other mail. Please try to consider them. Generaly speaking I link functional approach of programming and non-modifying transformatios are part of it.
