Now I get it: it is possible to ignore leading and ending whitespace by
choosing "Ignore all whitespace, but then not *only* leading and ending but
also inline whitespace gets ignored.

Anyone out there who needs it?
It cannot be that hard to implement. But we'll need to think about if and how
we map existing configurations to the new checkboxes.
The easiest solution: define a new registry key with a new default value.
Users which have changed the default radio button in a previous installation
might be bothered though.
