With '-' and '+' it's fairly clear (once you know what they do) that '-'
removes whitespace and '+' leaves it alone. The same is also true of '='
for collapsing, if you think of it as two '-' signs with a space between
them. That's also analogous to what the operator does. However '~' and '^'
are a little more cryptic.
Not sure if this would complicate parsing (because it's 2 characters
long), but what about '--' for greedy chomp?
Then we make the '=' collapse operator do what it always should have
done, which is to replace *all* leading/trailing whitespace with a
single space.
+1 on this
