strings.TrimSpace removes character of new line

[Archos]

It could be that new line character is defined in Unicode as a white
space.

package main

import (
"fmt"
"strings"
)

func main() {
l := "\tstairway to heaven \n"
fmt.Println("^" + l + "$")
fmt.Println("^" + strings.TrimSpace(l) + "$")
}

Yes, a newline is considered white space.

Archos,

Consider the Go package source code as part of the documentation.

strings func TrimSpace
http://golang.org/pkg/strings/#TrimSpace
http://golang.org/src/pkg/strings/strings.go#L497

return TrimFunc(s, unicode.IsSpace)

unicode func IsSpace
http://golang.org/pkg/unicode/#IsSpace
http://golang.org/src/pkg/unicode/letter.go#L130

switch rune {
case '\t', '\n', '\v', '\f', '\r', ' ', 0x85, 0xA0:
return true
}
return false

It's that easy.
