Sounds a bit like trying to make a virtue out of a
necessity. ;-)
My impression is that many users turn on highlighting
of trailing whitespace generally. And it's typically
a pretty glaring highlighting.
I don't turn it on, myself, except when I want to
check something. But I think many users do. Of
course, you can say that if many do, and they're
bothered by this, they'll report it...
Do I really care about this? No. Just letting you
know it happens.
(I doubt that it was by design. I expect it was done
by accident long before we had such highlighting. It
wouldn't even have been noticed when done.)
