It was with a flash of light that I thought of
ESC SPC runs the command just-one-space
Delete all spaces and tabs around point, leaving one space.
could be "enhanced" to act on a region.
For instance I have this line
pscoast -R-30/30/-40/40 -Jm0.1i -B5 -N1/0.25tap -W0.25p/255/255/255
well, ^here I place a mark and then move the cursor to the end
of the line and hit M-SPC, and voila:
pscoast -R-30/30/-40/40 -Jm0.1i -B5 -N1/0.25tap -W0.25p/255/255/255
Can you say "better living thru science"?
Sure, you are gonna show me how there already exits 13 ways to do
this, however I bet my keystrokes are less. Anyways, I propose 'em,
you implement 'em.

You've lost. M-q (fill-region).

Double checkmate, Holmes. fill-region could mess up shell scripts,
e.g. the example above might get wrapped, whereas doing a [future]
just-one-space on the region wouldn't. Therefore: needed! Richard:
implement!

Just set your fill-column big enough.
