Some editors (like the vim variants), when seeing "trim_whitespace" decide to do just that for all of the whitespace in the file you are saving, even if it is not on a line that you have modified. This plays havoc with diffs and is NOT something that should be intended. As the "only trim whitespace on modified files" is not part of the editorconfig standard, just move the whole thing off to the Documentation/ directory so that those that wish to use such a thing can pick it up from there.
