changes, which should be easy to do in this case at least,
should not be considered changes.

But even more to the point, if trailing whitespace don't
change anything, why have them _at all_?

But other editors, and also the VCS that you mention, could
auto-remove them as well, I'm sure.

After that, why introduce them? Problem solved.
