[Zope] whitespace normalization (was: [Zope] way to cleanup form input text?)

An idiom for whitespace normalization is:

   "_.string.join(_.string.split(text_to_be_normalized))"

It will replace any sequences of consecutive whitespace
characters by a single space.

You can not use it in all cases, as sometimes
newlines are semantically important.
The above idiom would convert them into space.
