I think if your development environment involves Windows checkouts, they 
happen more often that you'd like, especially when a single Windows 
developer doesn't have svn:eol-style set for all types that end up being 
doctests.

This becomes even more problematic if your source control system doesn't 
have any notion of platform-specific line endings.

That normalizes *all* whitespace, whereas I'm really only concerned 
about whitespace...
