trim_trailing_whitespace?
Yes, that is too general. But wouldn't it make sense
to have such a more general option: to always trim
trailing whitespace in a file?
Otherwise: right_trim_justify.
Also, the option just trims single spaces. When words
are separated by multiple spaces (like often at the end
of a sentence), just one space is trimmed.
