Hi, I'd like to suggest a version trim for clojure.string that can accept a specific character to be trimmed::
(defn ^String ctrim "Removes a character from the left side of string." [char ^CharSequence s] (let [slen (.length s) index-left (loop [index (int 0)] (if (= slen index) index (if (= (.charAt s index) char) (recur (inc index)) index))) index-right (loop [index slen] (if (zero? index) index (if (= (.charAt s (dec index)) char) (recur (dec index)) index)))] (.. s (subSequence index-left index-right) toString) )) (N.B. The code above is remashed from the existing triml/r source.) clojure.string/trim could be overloaded to accept either a single parameter (current) or two (proposed above). I'm still new here... what is the common procedure for outsiders to contribute? Fork on github and send link to branch? Like this? Let me know.
