fwiw ($0.02?), I find the trimr function very useful. It helps when translating, for example.

But one point to bear in mind (apart from user-friendliness) is that a built-in shortcut such a trimr() is in principle more efficient than the long-hand version, since it involves less parsing of user input. Whether that's of practical importance, I'm not sure.
