I'm sorry for the confusion I caused. (I thought it were accepted by
all that new features are only welcome after the release, I just
wanted to test the reception of such an idea in general.)
Kevin didn't add a new feature either, he was just concerned about the
documentation (please have a look below, I think the changes are very
good).

* simple.el (delete-horizontal-space): Bind optional BACKWARD-ONLY
arg to interactive prefix arg, and update doc string.
* killing.texi (Deletion): Describe `M-\'
(delete-horizontal-space) prefix argument.

The other delete commands are those which delete only whitespace
characters: spaces, tabs and newlines. @kbd{M-\}
(@code{delete-horizontal-space}) deletes all the spaces and tab
! characters before and after point. @address@hidden
(@code{just-one-space}) does likewise but leaves a single space after
point, regardless of the number of spaces that existed previously (even
if there were none before). With a numeric argument @var{n}, it
