I think that this is a BAD THING; Fortran did, and still does, it, but almost all programming languages designed since Fortran disallow it, and for good reasons. TeX already has too many ambiguities such as: \foo \bar execute \foo then execute \bar \foo \bar execute \foo with \bar as its argument \foo \bar assign \bar to \foo Making spaces insignificant would add to the mess. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Nelson H.
