To be clear, `trim` could easily be implemented like this:
```js
function trim(str) {
return str.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, "")
}
```
If you need something similar, you can alter that regular expression
accordingly to get what you want.
As for performance, if you really get to the point where that becomes
your bottleneck, you should really reconsider what you're actually
doing.
