This is a good call. It would be the most excellent if we could also include guides on how to set up automatic trailing space removal in various IDEs/text editors.

@unkillbob it'd be great to land this PR - would you rebase it on top of the latest master, and add a new subsection under "Whitespace" that links to this section? In addition, could you link to the eslint rule for this?

@unkillbob actually, since you made this PR from a fork you don't own, you'd need to add me to the orionhealth repo for me to be able to land this.
