sorry, I'm a little late. However, to me it is not clear what the trim functions shall do. If they become a replacement for chomp they are clearly misnamed. In many applications and languages (like Excel, several SQL variants, oh, and Java, ...) "trim" means stripping of whitespace characters, including but not limited to \n and \r. In contrast to that chomp stands for the removal of the system-specific linebreak. Usually trim-functions accept an optional list of chars to trim. So if a trim function would be implemented as a char-remover, defaulting to whitespace, and chomp would then be equivalent to (trim "foo\n" "\r \n") -- the second arg should probably something seqable -- everything seems fine to me.
