Ah, no it doesn't.

C-x h

Dang.
BTW, for the Emacsen in the audience, here's a little elisp I use to
normalize whitespace. I mostly use this in Python code so YMMV. It
frst untabifies the buffer, and then it deletes bogus trailing
whitespace. I think it mostly works. ;) The defalias is just because
I can never remember what I called the function and don't have it
bound to a keychord.
