No, as the others have point out, it's not a bug. If anything
it's a language design flaw that no one has figured out how to
resolve yet.
The idea of a special struct for code that strips whitespace
out, or a function that simply does the same thing... Either way
it would have to be voluntary, preferably at the function level
writing and not the user level.
StringNWS? (No White Space) or StringCode?
Might be something to try... Having a function to call that
strips it would probably add too much overhead and ugliness
required by users using the code vs code clarity.
I'll have to experiment with this later.
