 * *`split $string $sep`*: Splits `$string` into a slice of substrings delimited by `$sep`. Alias for [`strings.Split`](http://golang.org/pkg/strings/#Split)
 * *`trimPrefix $prefix $string`*: If `$prefix` is a prefix of `$string`, return `$string` with `$prefix` trimmed from the beginning. Otherwise, return `$string` unchanged.
 * *`trimSuffix $suffix $string`*: If `$suffix` is a suffix of `$string`, return `$string` with `$suffix` trimmed from the end. Otherwise, return `$string` unchanged.
+* *`trim $string`*: Removes whitespace from both sides of `$string`.
 * *`where $items $fieldPath $value`*: Filters an array or slice based on the values of a field path expression `$fieldPath`. A field path expression is a dot-delimited list of map keys or struct member names specifying the path from container to a nested value. Returns an array of items having that value.
 * *`whereExist $items $fieldPath`*: Like `where`, but returns only items where `$fieldPath` exists (is not nil).
 * *`whereNotExist $items $fieldPath`*: Like `where`, but returns only items where `$fieldPath` does not exist (is nil).
