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.

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

Same case for ltrim.
