Bug description:  Clarify that trim(),ltrim(),rtrim() will trim ANY character 
in charlist

Description:
------------
Please clarify what the trim() functions actually do if the charlist
argument is present:

ltrim('deeds', 'ed');
returns:
's'

EACH single character in charlist is trimmed from the beginning of the
string, REPEATEDLY.

Please include this (or something similar) as a usage example in the
docs!

There are already 2 false bug reports filed from people who obviously
misunderstood how these functions work:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=35584
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=22217

To figure this out just gave me an hour-long headache ;-)
