Matthew Barnett added the comment:

Ideally, yes, that whitespace should be ignored.

The question is whether it's worth fixing the code for the small case of when 
there's whitespace within "tokens", such as within "(?:". Usually those who use 
verbose mode use whitespace as in the first example rather than the second or 
third examples.
