Classification:Enhancement Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
NSString has -stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:, which takes a character set and returns a new NSString. Unlike other NSString -stringBy* API's, this one does not have an in-place counterpart in NSMutableString. I would like one.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to trim an NSMutableString in place. 

Expected Results:
1. There should be a method available to do this.

Actual Results:
2. There is not a method available to do this.

Version:
10.0-10.9 SDKs, iOS 2.0-7.1 SDKs

Notes:
Not a regression, but a missing API.
