That is not very intuitive to manually specify especially for the default use 
when let's say someone is mining text and wants to get rid of any and all blank 
characters surrounding a substring

Also regexp_replace is better suited for manually trimming only specific items 
IMO

> sql.functions.trim removes only trailing and leading whitespaces. Removing 
> tabs as well helps use the function for the same use case e.g. artifact 
> cleaning.
