constraint against expressions in tails.
I have never thought of that. I have somewhat assumed that blanks are not
allowed as part of a tail.
(When needed, I use hexstrings as tails. E g tail = C2x("Foo Bar").)
Now I can understand the urge for expressions in tails, it's a natural
consequence of e g allowing blanks in tails.
