I reiterate my huge -1 on "trim" because it will confuse every PHP user who comes to us from the dark side. Over there "trim" means what our "strip" means.

I've got (differing) opinions about the others, but "trim" is a big one to me.

As a full stack developer with terrible memory, I agree. JavaScript also uses trim() like Python's strip(), and this would quickly get confusing.
