Oops!  Sigh, I had only tested those with ksh, but not even properly
there it seems.

I think though I've settled on just letting the shell do it while
parsing a command line, i.e.:

	var=$(echo $var)

That gets rid of extraneous duplicate whitespace between words too.

In a function taking a varname argument:

trim ()
{
	local _var _val

	if [ $# -ne 1 -o -z "${1}" ] ; then
		echo "Usage: trim varname" >&2
		return 2
	fi

	_var="$1"
	eval _val=\"\${${_var}}\"

	eval ${_var}=\$\(echo \${_val}\)

	unset _var _val
}
