Not sure what kind of complexity that adds.\r\n\r\nBasically, this issue boils down to **it's nice when the defaults 'just work'.**\r\n\r\nHowever, this might be something for https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-editorconfig to handle instead. According to the vscode-editorconfig repo [README.md](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-editorconfig/blob/ff3f2f13f8ea50ac78b39ecf13d0c4b434c9f743/README.md) as of now `trim_trailing_whitespace` is \"On the backlog\"."}}
