You might as well make it `show-non-breaking-spaces' if you're
going to rename it anyway. The current name is ugly, and I think
the name you're proposing is unnecessarily confusing. It makes
you wonder what the ``break space'' is.

I read that as a typo for ``at least as annoying as possible.''
:-)
But now that I think about it, ``as little annoying as possible''
sounds slightly awkward too. What is the correct way to say it?
