Yikes! I didn't even notice it squeezes *all* duplicates. You see in
my original code I just wanted extra spaces removed, not the chars
themselves. So the right call is:

squeeze(" ")

Oh cool, it even takes an optional parameter. Thanks!

import std.string;
void main() {
assert(" foo   bar ".squeeze() == " fo bar ");
}

Compress spaces to one space

Is there a Phobos function to compress all spaces to just one space in a string?

E.g. " foo   bar "
becomes: " foo bar "
