[bug #13146] make tabs and trailing spaces visible

[Oswald Buddenhagen <savannah-bounces gnu org>]

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #13146 (project mc):

well, tabs should stay tabs. masking them away in this special case would
just lead to surprises.
not sure about your example. it's true that it looks a bit weird. otoh, such
whitespace is plainly broken, so it should look broken. :) also, if you
change it, suddenly chars in the middle of a line will vanish/appear if you
(append past/remove up to) the trailing tabs. it depends on whether one wants
to get the static or the dynamic case nicer.
the patch is really simple, so give it a try. after all, i have no particular
opinion on this matter - i need to highlight trailing whitespace only to
annihilate any occurrences of it anyway. :-)=)
