But it makes the most sense to me for the function itself to
detect whether that trailing blank should be inserted and to
insert it if required without the need for further processing.
How useful would cos(x) be if you had to check whether the
input was some special value like pi/5 so you would in that
case have to substitute the correct value of (1+sqrt(5))/4
rather than just be able to accept the value of cos(x) without
further processing?
