If it isn't, why are we talking about FF and VT?  They don't display as 
"blank" in Emacs.

If the point is to close up blank lines, this is sort of like line-
breaking in reverse, so only line-break characters should be deleted.

Function delete-trailing-whitespace specifically states that it does not 
delete FF.  It also doesn't delete VT.  So why should
delete-blank-lines delete these?
