Actually, we changed the docs about the *trim functions recently because somebody else made the same mistake. The examples, in particular, weren't chosen in a way that would make it clear that the characters- to-trim are sets not strings. You can see the new wording at

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/functions-string.html

That will propagate into the released-version pages at the next minor updates (scheduled for early Feb).
