With the (what I'd consider beneficial) side-effect of also removing
trailing whitespace from lines.

I'd consider that beneficial as well, except that it doesn't remove the trailing whitespace in my case.

I still have to use

%s/\s\+$//

to remove trailing whitespaces.

One command to do both - get rid of multiple blank lines and trailing whitespace - would be super!
