Okay, I'm taking it as a consensus that people would like the auto-magic
approach back.  I'll sort it out later today, and it should be in the
SVN either this evening or tomorrow.

For those not familiar, the idea is that terminal optional arguments do
not skip spaces, but others do.  So

\foo {stuff} [opt] {more stuff}

is allowed (as there is no confusion about what [opt] is for),b but

\foo{bar}[opt]    % Valid optional argument
\foo{bar}   [opt] % Not treated as an optional argument
