Documentation

Warn the user if they attempt to send a blank line.

When non-nil, ERC signals a user-error upon encountering prompt input containing empty or whitespace-only lines. When nil, ERC still inhibits sending but does so silently. With the companion option erc-send-whitespace-lines enabled, ERC sends pending input and prints a message in the echo area indicating the amount of padding and/or stripping applied, if any. Setting this option to nil suppresses such reporting.
