Yes, I understand why you advice me this.  I dared to because I use this
setting in vim which let me notice at a first sight if the diff is
right:


" Highligth trailing white space
highlight ExtraWhitespace ctermbg=blue guibg=grey
au ColorScheme * highlight ExtraWhitespace guibg=grey
au BufEnter * match ExtraWhitespace /\s\+$/
au InsertEnter * match ExtraWhitespace /\s\+\%#\@<!$/
au InsertLeave * match ExtraWhiteSpace /\s\+$/
