Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing :$s/\s+%//e in VSCode 1.15.1 with VSCodeVim 0.9.0 on Windows, then trace the command handling relevant to the failure. Done means the command deletes trailing whitespace and the behavior is verified with the same scenario.
