I'm not sure this is relevant, but today I ran into this:

EX 'yadda.zadda.exec(blah)' ',,foo'  /* works */

but

%blah ,,foo /* does not work */

"blah" starts with

parse arg a ',' b ',' c

The leading commas disappear with the so-called indirect invocation, and so
'foo' is assigned to a, not c.  According to the REXX reference, this is
what TSO does.  For some reason.  I'm sure it's a good reason.  Possibly a
really good and wonderful reason.  But it interferes somewhat with
maintaining my sanity.
