-** A new `whitespace' package has been installed, and the pre-existing one
-renamed to `old-whitespace'.
-Now, besides reporting bogus blanks, whitespace package has a minor mode and a
-global minor mode to visualize blanks (TAB, (HARD) SPACE and NEWLINE).  The
-visualization is made via faces and/or display table.
-
-The main commands are `whitespace-mode', `whitespace-toggle-options',
-`global-whitespace-mode' and `global-whitespace-toggle-options'.
-
-There are also the following useful commands: `whitespace-newline-mode',
-`global-whitespace-newline-mode', `whitespace-report',
-`whitespace-report-region', `whitespace-cleanup' and
-`whitespace-cleanup-region'.
-
-It has the following hook variables: `whitespace-mode-hook',
-`global-whitespace-mode-hook' and `whitespace-load-hook'.
-
-It has the following options: `whitespace-style', `whitespace-action',
-`whitespace-line-column', `whitespace-display-mappings' and
-`whitespace-global-modes'.
-
-It has the following faces: `whitespace-space', `whitespace-hspace',
-`whitespace-tab', `whitespace-newline', `whitespace-trailing',
-`whitespace-line', `whitespace-space-before-tab', `whitespace-indentation',
-`whitespace-empty' and `whitespace-space-after-tab'.

-`whitespace-empty-at-eob-regexp' and `whitespace-space-after-tab-regexp'.
-
-The `whitespace-style' option specifies which kind of blanks should be
-visualized.  It's a list containing some or all of the following values:
-
-trailing       trailing blanks are visualized via faces.
-
-tabs           TABs are visualized via faces.
-
-spaces         SPACEs and HARD SPACEs are visualized via faces.
-
-lines          lines whose have columns beyond `whitespace-line-column' are
-               highlighted via faces.
-               Whole line is highlighted.
-               It has precedence over `lines-tail' (see below).
-
-lines-tail     lines whose have columns beyond `whitespace-line-column' are
-               highlighted via faces.
