Comment (by steven_watanabe):

 This is definitely not a bug.  The function is behaving exactly as
 expected.  From the documentation, "trim_all removes all trailing and
 leading spaces from a sequence (string).  In addition, spaces in the
 middle of the sequence are truncated to just one character."  In this
 case, you're defining "whitespace" to be a set of characters.  It sounds
 like the function that you really want is std::remove_copy_if.
