I just implemented new options for the "unicode" directive: "ltrim",
"rtrim", and "trim" (trim whitespace from the left, right, or both
sides of substitution references when applied).  Example:

     Insert an em-dash |---| automatically trimming whitespace.
     Some substitutions |TM| only need trimming on one side.

     .. |---| unicode:: U+02014
        :trim:
     .. |TM| unicode:: U+02122
        :ltrim:

See <http://docutils.sf.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.html#unicode>.
