It appears the "space" character is both used to display instead of a space character when 'list' is on, and to find this character after the end of the line and replace it with "trail". To me these are two unrelated things. I'm not sure how useful it is to show something instead of a space. Isn't it obvious that there is a space when there is nothing? -- Two cows are standing together in a field. One asks the other: "So what do you think about this Mad Cow Disease?"
