Comment (by dfeuer):

 Criterion has spoken. `dropWhileEnd isSpace` seems to be much slower in
 typical cases than even `reverse . dropWhile isSpace . reverse`. Even a
 faster predicate, `(== ' ')`, gives a (much smaller) disadvantage to
 `dropWhileEnd`.

 However, the above `dropWhileEndLE` appears to be faster than the double
 reverse in all cases. So I'll add it to the utilities module and use that
 instead.
