    While there is a certain elegance to the names, I'd have to vote against
those.  It's not immediately obvious from the names trim/trimmed which one
is inplace and which isn't.  Further, in the matter of
lower_cased/to_lower_case, if you guess wrong, the other one isn't nearby in
an alphabetic listing of functions.
