How about .trim(:start) and .trim(:end)?
And .trim(:both) for orthogonality.

Alternatively, those could be ltrim() and rtrim(). If you need to dynamically
determine what you're going to trim, you'd couldn't just set va

Well, given that .trim is essentially just .comb(/\S.*\S/), which in

In the pir, doesn't the "s = self" line copy self, thus ensuring that I'm changing "s" and not "self"?
No, it's binding.
