As a general rule, I've found it useful to get into the habit of making
sure there are no trailing blanks or tabs in my input.  Some people seem
to automatically hit space before return.  Troff treats all tabs as significant
characters and sometimes spaces as well.  I don't think what you're trying to
do is either possible or necessary.
