OK, it was added to the agenda for the next meeting (will be presented by Sebastian Markbage), so can be discussed in detail. I agree that "start", and "end" are now probably better fit (because of i18n, and a strong correlation with "startsWith" and "endsWith"). We can probably ignore the de-facto shipped in browsers, they will just implement in addition `trimStart` and `trimEnd`, and eventually deprecate the "right" and "left".
