the automatic java->kotlin translator has done the following:
expression.trim().toCharArray() -> expression.trim { it <= ' ' }.toCharArray()
is there a reason?

I think it's because Java's trim just trims all characters with ASCI-code less than 0x20, while Kotlin recognizes other whitespace-characters as well.

Not sure. But the Java-trim thing is documented here: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/14/docs/api/java.base/java/lang/String.html#trim()

Java has strip available from Java 11, which I think works the same way as Kotlin's trim .
