44 The value of `compare-windows-whitespace' is normally a regexp, but it

46 whitespace around (including before) point; it should also advance

48 point at the current scanning point. It gets one argument, the point
49 where \\[compare-windows] was originally called; it should not look at
50 any text before that point.

53 whitespace is considered to match, and is skipped."
