>From the docs:
* All string columns, except `BLOB' and `TEXT' columns, automatically
have all trailing spaces removed when retrieved. For `CHAR' types
this is okay, and may be regarded as a feature according to ANSI
SQL92. The bug is that in MySQL Server, `VARCHAR' columns are
treated the same way.
It's mentioned in 3 other places as well.
