Subject: String.strip with UTF-8

Hi

I can't strip the leading whitespace (or what at least looks like
whitespace) from a Ruby 1.9.2 string


ruby-1.9.2-p0 :002 > d.entity
 => " United Arab Emirates"
ruby-1.9.2-p0 :003 > d.entity.strip
 => " United Arab Emirates"
ruby-1.9.2-p0 :004 > d.entity.class
 => String
ruby-1.9.2-p0 :005 > d.entity.encoding
 => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
ruby-1.9.2-p0 :006 >

It's inside the Rails 3.0.3 console..

Erik
