Mh, Wouldn't that give us "Ho Ho Ho ! Merry Christmas" - I. e. with the
usual "additional space at the end"-problem?

Jokes apart, I guess it is there since a very long time and I would
vote for keeping it to keep backward compatibility, as long as none has
issues with it. - I guess you checked ECMA and ISE and both don't have
this "beautiful" feature, right?
