The former. It's a delimiter, and the amount of it present above one is immaterial. > What would you call a language that did not need an intervening > space to indicate such a boundary? Annoying, or maybe deliberately obtuse. Mind you, C and its brethren don't require a /space/, per se, but some non-identifier character, but I'm not sure the distinction is relevant to your question. I have to turn the question around: What would such a language use to indicate the boundaries of a user-created identifier? -- Steven E.
