/*! \file
    Defines trim_all algorithms.
    
    Just like \c trim, \c 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. Space is recognized using given locales.

    \c trim_fill acts as trim_all, but the spaces in the middle are replaces with 
    a user-define sequence of character.

    Parametric (\c _if) variants use a predicate (functor) to select which characters
    are to be trimmed.. 
    Functions take a selection predicate as a parameter, which is used to determine 
    whether a character is a space. Common predicates are provided in classification.hpp header.
