Should "cleanpatch" clean up stretches of space?

Hi all,

Right now I have "cleanspace" and "cleanpatch" clean up spaces before
tabs, but it does not compress runs of spaces that aren't followed by a tab.

I could make it do that; I was being conservative when I wrote it and
opted for it not to do so, but I wanted to hear if people think it
should (and if so, what should a reasonable threshold be, in addition
for obviously crossing a tab line? Two spaces? Three? Four? Eight?)
