I agree with Usamah M dot Ali (usamah1228 at gmail dot com)!
I think that the nomenclature of ltrim and rtrim is very poor, as it has a bias towards
left-to-right writing systems!
I suggest to rather call them btrim (trim at beginning of the character stream) and etrim (trim at
end of the character stream), as this would be universally true without any bias.
Honestly this issue doesn't amaze me, because it reflects the sad reality that quite a number
of people, studying technical subjects, often don't receive any humanistic/general education in
their curricula at all!
