"whitespace" name, which makes some sense, but it seems seems to have
been done rather clumsily in some cases. E.g. the new
"whitespace-buffer" command seems completely different than the old
"whitespace-buffer" command, and really there seems no good reason for
it. [It's more or less a mode, but isn't called "...-mode", doesn't
follow emacs mode conventions well, e.g., it doesn't togglex, and
there's _also_ "whitespace-mode" which offers different, but related,
functionality...]
