(Vinhibit_changing_match_data, search_regs_1): New vars. (looking_at_1): Don't change search_regs and last_thing_searched if `inhibit-changing-match-data' is non-nil. (string_match_1, search_buffer, set_search_regs): Likewise. (syms_of_search): Add Lisp level definition for `inhibit-changing-match-data' and set it to nil. (boyer_moore): If `inhibit-changing-match-data' is non-nil, compute start and end of the match, instead of using values in search_regs.

apparently there was a big discussion on emacs-devel wrt trailing whitespace.
there was a mass-change to remove such from various branches in cvs.  probably
it's a good idea to avoid adding trailing whitespace in new code/docs and in
changes.
