For the most part, when white space is included it is not desired--it
represents ill-considered formatting and bloats the strings being copy/pasted. 
That includes enclosing as well as included text runs of spaces.

Ability to suppress the paste of the unhelpful space runs, as opposed to having
to do repeated find/replace sequences, is appealing.

Toggle is sufficient, but I would suggest suppression of white space should be
the default.
