I didn't know that, thanks.

Still PostgreSQL doesn't follow the standard precisely in more than
one respect. Perhaps we should add array_trim() and keep both? Or
(less likely) remove trim_array() and document this deviation from the
standard? Or at least document why it's named this way.

What do you think?
