address@hidden m4_strip (@var{string})
address@hidden
+Strip whitespace from @var{string}.  Sequences of space and tab are
s/whitespace/&s/

According to http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/whitespace, "whitespace" already represents a sequence of characters. No need to add an 's'.

On the other hand, s/space/&s/2 (first time I use the numeric argument to sed, couldn't resist).
