Why whitespace denotation of blocks doesn't work.

   That's also how Visual C++ does it. One problem with this in VC++ is that
if you choose fonts with very thin space characters, the » may not fit into
the tab space so the text is moved. I wanted the text to appear in exactly
the same positions with whitespace visible or invisible so didn't
implement ». It could be an option for people who prefer this.
