It used to be that the interpretation of spaces within a concatenation
would depend on the the status of a flag.  For that reason, a lot of
us have been coding defensively for a while, and avoiding any
spaces there at all.  Furthermore, conformant code should be
comma separated rather than space separated.

If it were my choice, I would flag all ambiguous cases with a warning
so that people remove them from their code.
