And I'm not sure about the logic -- even stripping the leading spaces
seems dubious.  The function is supposed to perform expansion of URL
(which may be a fragment) to BASE, and it's not supposed to do any DWIM
stuff.

What's the use case for stripping spaces?  (Which are valid enough
characters in URLs in some (pre-encoding) cases.)
