Maybe \s should expand to a single space by the lexer so people who want to rely on trailing spaces can be explicit about it. There already exists non-whitespace escape sequences for tabs and newlines.
Trailing whitspace is never significant on a code line, only inside a multiline string literal. In the extremely rare cases where one of those requires trailing spaces, \x20 works fine.
