Let's be conservative. [[:blank:]] matches 2 characters, [[:space:]]
matches Unicode ones that you want to add. We have a choice. Existing code
that was written with ascii [[:blank:]] in mind. Something might break. I'm
currently coding a new plugin and literally have chosen [[:blank:]] because
it's not unicode spaces. Such platform-like things shouldn't change this
way.
