COMPRESS(<string>, [<list>])
      returns a string

Removes any of the characters contained in <list> from <string>. The
default character for <list> is a blank, so this function will remove all
blanks if only <string> is specified.

   Examples:
         say compress('$1,045','$,%');      >>> 1045
         say compress('Call me Ismael.');   >>> CallmeIsmael.
