Hmm. How does that fail to remove whitespace on lines which consist only
of whitespace? I do not consider those to be "trailing whitespace"; they
exist for convenience of indentation, and I'd be bothered by trying to
work with code which did not have them there. (Then again, I don't work
with this code, so my opinion may not be relevant.)
