String#trim(chars)

[Cyril Auburtin]

Like some other languages (ex: python .strip, postgresql trim, ..) I think it would really useful that `String.prototype.trim` accept a string argument representing the characters to trim (or possible a regex). 

And keep it's default behavior if no argument is passed

```js

'\t Test \n\n'.trim(' \t\n') == 'Test'

```

So you want `'\t Test \n\n'.replace(/^[ \t\n]+|[ \t\n]+$/g, '') === 'Test'`?
