Thanks, Hans!  This makes sense.  String BIFs simply set a couple of
variables (source and length) and then the caller ends up accessing those
internal variables.  The %TRIM BIFs can point to the source string.  It's
only BIFs that actually change the data - like %REPLACE - that have to
create an internal variable.
