Emacs 20 Antinews - unclear entry |

One entry of Emacs 20 Antinews (distributed with Emacs 21):
- The variable `show-trailing-whitespace' has no special
meaning, so trailing whitespace on a line is now always
displayed correctly: as empty space. To see if a line ends
with spaces or tabs, type `C-e' on that line. Likewise,
empty lines at the end of the buffer are not marked in any
way; use `M->' to see where the end of the buffer is.
I don't grasp the sentence with "`M->'". When I go to
`*scratch*', set `show-trailing-whitespace' to `t', and
add some empty lines at the bottom of the buffer, I still
have to type `M->' too see the end of buffer. Perhaps my
terminal can't show the face used to highlight the trailing
empty lines. The docstring of `show-trailing-whitespace'
mentions only one face, `trailing-whitespace', which my
terminal _does_ display. What am I missing?
