How, for goodness sake, can pure trailing whitespace changes, which by 
necessity you can't even _see_ in an editor (except if you activate modes 
that explicitely show them e.g. in different color) clean up code?  Have 
you looked at the patch or fallout from it?  If not, why do you speak in 
favor of it?


Ciao,
Michael.
