True, but I don't think I like the style of that approach; it hides too much from the human reader. It's *important* where end-of-lines have an effect, and if that is in a tokenizer separate from the parser, I fear that will be unclear to the human reader (who won't grok it fully). A lot of this is my reaction to SRFI-49, which separated out whitespace processing from the parser grammar - the grammar was "simple" but easily misunderstood. --- David A.
