I agree, that was an excellent idea Naoto! In my last commit, I have converted all trailing spaces/tabs in value lines into explicit unicode characters. Since that means we have no trailing spaces (from a jcheck perspective), I could also restore the jcheck that was the original driver behind this bug. (And also restore the bug/PR title to show the original intent.)
