(whitespace-indent-regexp): Make this match any multiples of eight spaces near the beginning of a line. (whitespace-buffer): Use `remove-overlays' instead of `whitespace-unhighlight-the-space' and `overlay-recenter' to speed up overlay handling. (whitespace-buffer-leading, whitespace-buffer-trailing): Make these functions highlight the text removed by `whitespace-buffer-leading-cleanup' and `whitespace-buffer-trailing-cleanup' respectively. (whitespace-buffer-search): Use `with-local-quit'. Move `format' out of loop to speed up scanning larger buffers. (whitespace-unhighlight-the-space): Remove `remove-hook' since that function is never added to a hook. (whitespace-spacetab-regexp, whitespace-ateol-regexp) (whitespace-buffer-leading-cleanup) (whitespace-refresh-rescan-list): Fix docstrings.
