A few days ago there was a suggestion on this list to add a
.editorconfig file specifying tab width:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/87efhuz9be.fsf%40news-spur.riddles.org.uk
The .editorconfig format also supports a trim_trailing_whitespace option
(see https://editorconfig.org/ ).
So that might be a simpler way to achieve this (I suppose people who
don't want this behaviour just wouldn't configure their editors to
honour .editorconfig files).
