Interesting patch.  Thanks.

However, with your patch applied, try this:
  src/nano --ignore --auto +7,88 README
and type M-P to switch on whitespace display,
then type three times <Enter>.  As intended,
nano avoids leaving behind a line containing
only whitespace.  But now type three times
M-U followed by three times M-E.  Now there
are three lines containing only whitespace.
Unexpected and unwanted.
