I think it's just as fair to say that the fault lies not in the Grammar
but in the Programmer (with apologies to Shakespeare).  Not only would
the judicious use of white space have prevented this "flaw", but it makes
good sense for readability & maintenance.

What makes people afraid to hit the space bar?  Is it sloth, or ignorance?
