Why can't things ever be tested? Or, Doesn't anybody else use strings (if they are, why is this breaking for me)?

[David C. Plummer <DCP at MIT-MC>]

In the current string package...

(string-right-trim '(#\space) "this is a test        ")
"this is a test        "

;; STRING-LEFT-TRIM and STRING-TRIM both trim from the left, but
;; even STRING-TRIM doesn't trim from the right.
