use of functions to get length

[GitMensch]

Currently there is a loop in COBOL, which always stops at the first space.
Instead of this we could use intrinsic functions to only handle trailing spaces and to improve performance as follows:

      *>  GnuCOBOL (+ gcobol) only
               MOVE FUNCTION
                    STORED-CHAR-LENGTH (some-text) TO last-pos
      *>  ISO2002+
               MOVE FUNCTION
                    LENGTH (  FUNCTION TRIM ( some-text TRAILING ) ) TO last-pos

The question is: should embedded spaces be allowed and would you be interested in something like this?
