In most languages a coding error of

Foo [some syntactic element inadvertently omitted here] Bar

Is a syntax error. For example, in C, x = foo bar; /* supposed to be foo +
bar */

But in Rexx, Foo Bar is often syntactically correct and is equivalent to Foo
|| " " || Bar

One person's feature is another person's trap for the unwary.

Yes, exactly correct. And not really surprising when you think about it, but
it could indeed bite a newbie!
