Hi folks,

If there is a missing new line in the context we currently miss it and
fail to print the warning. This trips up patch and leads to failures.

This patch uses the chunk at result->chunks.head[cc->chunk.end] for
checking the final atom. I am not sure if can assume there is a chunk
there, but I haven't seen another way to access this correctly.

It might make more sense to modify the result so it accounts for
trailing context, or modify the whitespace check to take the final atom.
I'm not sure which is the best way to do this.

I have included a test, be warned that if you open these files with vim
it will helpfully add the trailing new line and break the test.
