Sorry, what? Oh, shells, and "a" called with three parameters. Ok.

But I think the "+" here should be the usual arithmetical operators.
It was supposed to be Ruby syntax and the question was about the
significance of different amounts of white space.

Hm. What about "b  + c"? Or "3 +1", is that calling 3 with 1? No,
I don't really want to know.
