No objection, but a comment.  Note that *using* the option is
destructive.  Once you have replaced double spaces at the ends
of sentences with single spaces, there is no algorithm short of
computer linguistics that can take you back, because with that
change, abbreviations become indistinguishable from full stops.

You might or might not want to mention that in the manual -
depending on whether you consider it more important to prevent
people from hurting themselves or to keep the manual concise.

Note that i didn't test the patch.

Yours,
  Ingo
