 Hello,

 I noticed that the "sanitize_title_with_dashes" function when parsing the
 query removes the dashes from the beginning and end of the page slug,
 resulting in all the URLs below displaying the same page:
 1. http://example.com/sample-page/
 2. http://example.com/sample-page---/
 2. http://example.com/---sample-page----/

 This creates problems in terms of SEO, because several pages, under
 different URLs, present the same page content.

 I'm fully aware that changing this behaviour might break something, but
 maybe adding a filter to prevent it is a way?

 Thanks!
