- According to the rationale, "The requirements for acceptance of
- <blank>s and <space>s in command lines has been made more
- explicit..."

- Does that mean that I should only strip blanks preceeding
- addresses and between addresses and commands? If so, does that
- mean that
-
- $a\
- boo!
-
- will append ' boo!' to the end of the file, even though this
- goes against historical practice?
-
- It is obvious that
-
- $a\
- \ boo!
-
- will still behave the same way, since the description of _text_
- works out, but nothing has been said about leading spaces in
- _text_ lines.
