Well I take your point, especially if others were going to use my library. In any case, I've renamed them fTrim and hTrim, respectively, since they serve a similar purpose, and that's probably enough to prevent me from shooting myself in the foot, as well as avoiding any potential difficulty with the engine, later on.

I see that the handler modifies the string passed to it, while the
function
returns a similarly modified copy of the string passed to it, but

the point of it.
Or am I missing something?

No, that's exactly my point.

trim myString
put trim(myString) into someOtherString

will modify two different strings. In the incarnation of this
operation as a function myString is not modified, and it's not
immediately apparent why not, since the command version does modify
it.
