Does Swift have an equivalent to rangeOfCharacterFromSet:options: or would that require converting it to NSString? Because you could just generate the inverse NSCharacterSet to the whitespace character set, and then look for the first (NSAnchoredSearch) and last (NSAnchoredSearch | NSBackwardsSearch) non-whitespace character, and then extract only the range between those two offsets.
