This all came about, IIRC, because off the "trim" drama. Can we add this to the list of "test" cases for what it'd look like? IOW, as the discussion progresses, it'd be helpful to see how this translated into real life to address one of the main points of contention related to trim. I.e., the well founded fear that this would admit a large number of "string" functions into the "main" namespace.
