By treyhunner:

I think I misunderstood your proposal. I don't think whitespace inside the section name should be trimmed because valid filenames can start with or end in space characters. I thought you were proposing that whitespace before or after the section declaration be trimmed. For example:

[this]

would be the same as

[this]

Is there a particular use case you were targeting with trimming whitespace inside section names?
