This behaviour can't be used interactively right?  If you want a
function to delete all space including newlines, I think it's better to
add one instead of adding yet another mode to cycle-spacing which won't
even be used by interactive callers.

That is, instead of (cycle-spacing 'negative-zero) something like
(delete-whitespace).

You only need let* here, I think.
