 * String.prototype.filter
 *
 * Allows for an arbitrary number of arguments which take a string as a single
 * parameter, and return a string, to modify the string.
 *
 * @example
 * 	'  This is my string '.filter(String.trim, function(str){return str + '!';}, String.bold);
 * 	// returns '<b>This is my string!</b>'
