I do quite a bit of hacking on "spaces-for-indentation" projects and still use stripspace to cleanup my patches. So no, thanks. Perhaps split it off to a separate option? I'm not opposed to the functionality per-se, but don't put together with trailing-space-trimming. It's a different beast. Everyone agrees trimming trailing spaces as much as everyone disagrees on tabs-vs-spaces. cheers, m
