string String.prototype.trim()

Remove whitespace from the front and back of the string. Whitespace includes the characters in the production WhiteSpace and LineTerminator (so spaces, tabs, returns and some more exotic characters like BOM).

The this value is coerced to a string.

Code: (Meta Ecma)

String.prototype.trim = function(){
	CheckObjectCoercible(this);
	var S = ToString(this);
	// todo: explicitly check for those characters
	var T = S.trim();
	return T;
}
