Agreed on everything.

One thing I don't really understand is if you propose to also strip trailing 
whitespace. Does "limit the offset to just past the end of the source text" 
include whitespace or not?

For example, the linked PR does not change this behavior:

➜  cpython git:(pr/20072) ./python
Python 3.9.0a6+ (heads/pr/20072:6df7662ca5, May 14 2020, 20:37:50) 
[GCC 9.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> compile('1 +      ', '<string>', 'exec')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 1
    1 +      
             ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Should we clip just past the end of `1 +` here?
