Anyone ever needed this? Me and John Wiegley were discussing a decent name for it, John suggested inv as in involution. E.g. inv reverse (take 10) inv reverse (dropWhile isDigit) trim = inv reverse (dropWhile isSpace) . dropWhile isSpace That seems to be the only use-case I've ever come across. There's also this one: co f g = f g . g which means you can write trim = co (inv reverse) (dropWhile isSpace) but that's optimizing an ever rarer use-case.
