Would it be possible with the current system?  No.

Would it be possible to add such a new feature?  If designed well,
perhaps.

Things to consider (though not exhaustive) include:

 - What mechanism should this modify?

 - What should the new option be called?

 - Do we only need to accommodate those who want one trailing blank
   line?  What about those who want two?  Three?

Thanks.
