I think not. A, properties *are* mutable; I do it all the time. B, he's
not assigning back to the original property in any case, he's assigning the
value to a new property.
No, his problem is that he's trying to use a funtion for a purpose other
than it's intended one. Trim does not remove spaces from the interior of a
string, only the ends. I believe there is a function to remove the spaces,
probably called "replace" or something like that.
