Bug description:  rtrim/ltrim summary only says strips whitespace

Description:
------------
The summary for rtrim only says "Strip whitespace from the end of a
string" whereas in fact the function can be used to strip any character. 
I suggest "Strip characters from the end of a string".  The detailed
description can make it clear that the default character is whitespace.

The docs are particularly misleading on the summary page, where a user
looking for a function to strip a non-whitespace char would have to guess
that the documentation was not correct!  This is exactly what I did.
http://be2.php.net/manual/en/ref.strings.php

Doc error occurs here also:
http://be2.php.net/manual/en/function.rtrim.php

Same case for ltrim.
