Handler/Function with same name

[Mark Smith]

Well I take your point, especially if others were going to use my  
library.
In any case, I've renamed them fTrim and hTrim, respectively, since  
they serve a similar purpose, and that's probably enough to prevent  
me from shooting myself in the foot, as well as avoiding any  
potential difficulty with the engine, later on.
