New submission from Dan Snider: This function is supposed to be purely cosmetic. It just cleans up the junk whitespace commonly left behind when coding. But it could cause a problem when someone expects some string they defined to stay the same value, and then use that function and all of a sudden they have a crazy bug that you wouldn't even know how to find.
