On second thought, I would like to change the above signature into:

self_type& trim_left(const self_type& exclusions = self_type() ); // line 97

Taking the argument by const-reference does not pose a problem for the 
vacpp compiler and AFAICT it's even better to take a const-reference as 
copying the argument by value.
