Org-mode's usage of `org-trim' gives this proposal 100+ upvotes.

    (defun org-trim (s)
      "Remove whitespace at beginning and end of string."
      (if (string-match "\\`[ \t\n\r]+" s) (setq s (replace-match "" t t s)))
      (if (string-match "[ \t\n\r]+\\'" s) (setq s (replace-match "" t t s)))
      s)
