I appreciate the question, but this is a good example of not thinking far enough in terms of UX. :)
Even if we were to "optimize" list processing into a list argument call, that was a standin, because list processing has many shapes.
my @filtered = map { preserve_spaces($_) ? $_ : trim $_ } @strings;
my @filtered = map { preserve_spaces($_) ? $_ : do { trim( my $trimmed = $_ ); $trimmed } } @strings;
