   Ow right thanks, nifty. Though inconsistent IMHO. It should be in
   whitespace.el; just like delete-trailing-whitespace and
   show-trailing-whitespace should not be in simple.el since there is
   whitespace.el

simple.el and files.el are pre-loaded.  whitespace.el is not.
Many people do not use whitespace.el.  Then there is no reason to load
that file.  Much more people use the variables and function mentioned
above.
