In case where an automatically stripping charfield is needed it's a
quite trivial task to create one. However, adding such model to the
Django is probably not useful, since it doesn't bring any value to
current form fields.
Making the stripping behavior to be the default for CharField would be
even worse: Think about password field, which depends heavily on
CharField implementation. Now, the user would like to change her
password from "foo" to "bar " (note the trailing space). The charfield
would trim out the trailing space and make it impossible for the user
to log in using the password she thought she changed.

Comments for the custom forms created should probably be asked from
the Django Users mailing list
