On this note and while people are working on stripping trailing space,
would it be possible to have either a different strip command or some
switch somewhere so that strip trailing whitespace results in this
(using . for spaces/tabs):

   for i in (@blah){
   ...print "$i\n";
   ...
   ...print "BLAH!\n";
   }

 Instead of this:

   for i in (@blah){
   ...print "$i\n";

   ...print "BLAH!\n";
   }

Note that in the first the spaces/tabs are left to end at the current
indent level, I suspect that there is a large amount of extra code to
make this work as the strip will have to get clever and understand
about a lot more things than it currently does.
