Bug Description
We should not have trailing whitespace anywhere in our source tree - even if it is meaningful (possible in triple quoted strings for example), it is at risk of being lost.
make lint should detect and raise errors, informing developers of lines containing trailing whitespace so reviewers don't have to check manually.
