In xmerl, it's done like this:

%% whitespace consists of 'space', 'carriage return',
%% 'line feed' or 'tab'
-define(whitespace(H), H==?space ;
                       H==?cr ;
                       H==?lf ;
                       H==?tab).

Example:

scan_prolog(T = [H|_], S, Pos) when ?whitespace(H) ->
    ?dbg("prolog(whitespace)~n", []),
    ?strip1,
    scan_prolog(T1, S1, Pos).


Beautiful, eh?  ;-)
