Nicolas> True. I fixed that.
end of line *is* a whitespace character, but Iʼm not going to argue
that. Iʼm going to argue that this doesnʼt cover the case of a '#' at
EOB without a newline, hence saying 'zero or more' would be better.
(and if it really is *one* whitespace character, thatʼs a breaking
change from at least org-9.2.6, which allows zero-or-more).
