This seems like a good idea.  It would be even nicer if something like
this could be combined with whitespace-mode to clearly show trailing
whitespace.  That way the user knows he has a problem.

(I currently do (setq show-trailing-whitespace t) in a hook for
diff-mode-hook, but it is not good enough, it highlights things that are
not relevant in a diff).
