JFYI, the reason I implemented it this way is that I was worried about
what would happen if any whitespace is allows. I was worried that
something like this can be a common mistake:
(define foo "blah")
@text{ @foo @foo @foo
[but not another @foo] }
The error will be reading this as:
(define foo "blah")
(text " " foo " " foo " " (foo but not another foo) " ")
For a while, I considered allowing only spaces (not newlines), but the
result is an awkward set of rules to parse @-forms, so I chose to go
with the simple and uniform option.
