Dropping patch annotation from rejected ticket.

Even had this not already been rejected, it would be invalid now due to "skipping the stripper".  See bug #55091.

Rejecting this for the same reasons as #53773.

When the file is not stripped, the space is perfectly visible.

When the file is stripped, people should tread very cautiously and with highly capable text editors.

Subject: [PATCH] e.tmac-u: Always use '\&' or even '\&\"' to protect trailing spaces

  Insignificant space is often in front of an inline comment.

  Avoid getting it to be a part of an argument.

  Make lines invariant against stripping insignificant characters from
a file.
