> In form applications where user can input data its very often not wished to have successive whitespace characters.
> A function that will replace multiple whitespace characters with a single space (or passed string/character) would be a nice feature since I myself repeat this method in many applications.
> Something like a shortcut for:
>     value.replace("\\s+", " ").trim()
