"If `show-trailing-whitespace' is non-nil, this command will just
kill the rest of the current line, even if there are only
nonblanks there."
Surely that should be "even if there are only blanks"? (I'll happily fix
this if I'm right, I'm just double-checking as I'm a bit surprised to find
an error in such a frequently-read place!)

I think you might be overestimating how often docs are read.
Fixed in 5c2da93 "Fix kill-line's docstring" (I used "no nonblanks" to
match the phrasing at the beginning of the docstring).

That might be true! but from plenty of experience, I also know that when I
think I've found a *really *obvious mistake, I'm often wrong.
