I think :start and :end are my favorites.  Huffman++ (maybe :begin and :end for consistency?).

Still raises the question of what to do with arrays of hashes of arrays with @array >> .= trim;

I can't trim keys of pairs because they're used as unique identifiers in hashes and conflicts will occur.  So recursive trimming needs have a special case for keys or it needs to not be allowed (and thus fail with AoHoA and similar complex data structures).

Thanks.  It's been lots of fun :)
