While browsing the source code of sequel, I noticed that there is quite a 
bit of trailing whitespace in the code base. Since I'm usually navigating 
block-wise through code, I found this a bit annoying and set out to remove 
all its occurences from the project and opened a pull request 
(https://github.com/jeremyevans/sequel/pull/706).

This PR however was denied for two reasons:

1) it made the test suite fail (see 
https://github.com/jeremyevans/sequel/pull/706#issuecomment-24745478 for 
details)
2) if trailing whitespace is removed from the code base, then this should 
become a policy/style guideline, checks need to be in place to prevent 
reintroduction, etc.. this policy decision however should be made by the 
contributor community and not me 
(https://github.com/jeremyevans/sequel/pull/706#issuecomment-24740970)

I obviously would like to see no more trailing whitespace in the project, 
but what are your opinions?
