With -E the \W* didn't work, I had to use [ \t]* or [[:space:]]*, both
of which is strange.

This is true. Here Ralf has completely right.
I don't mind killing the file again from svn. And the code for the
language stuff is not too complicated.
OTOH getting this into upstream (probably into fmtutil?) will take some
time, so we could also leave the code there, as it is neither long nor
complicated, and who wants to can use it for checking.
For me it is all the same ...
