Thank you for that. This works for me with \optionalspace, but fails in
some cases with \autoinsertedspace.
I have now re-read lowlevel-macros.pdf and have a better understanding
of what I read when first I approached it; I still have a way to go.
/Tolerant/ removes the need for /dodoubleempty/ and friends and the
two-step /macro/ and /doMacro/ dance. There was a small advantage to the
two-step, however. I had two separate macros, BD and BDNP (no parens),
as shown.
The old code in full was:
% Birth and death dates ---%
% Ferdinand de Saussure\BD{1857}{1913}
% Noam Chomsky \BD{1928}
%
% Perhaps this could be tied to an acronym-like database so that the
% dates are printed only once per person.
% \removeunwantedspaces allows this to directly follow, or follow
% after whitespace, the associated name: Name\BD{1}{2} or
% Name \BD{1}{2}.
% Using the compound indication (|–|) allows hyphenation after the
% endash. Omitting it and using a bare endash inhibits hyphenation
% ‘twixt the endash and the paren.
% By default, add parens around the dates. If none are needed due to
% the context, use \BDNP.

Both call the same doBD, but they set a flag (newif) to control
insertion or not of the parens. While there is no performance benefit
compared to having two fully separate macros, there is a maintenance
benefit in having only one place, doBD, to make changes should they be
required.
Can you suggest a way to do this under the new one-step scheme, or am I
over-thinking this?

\optionalspace works correctly (that is, as I want it to) for all of my
use cases under both MkIV and LMTX. Is there any reason that this should
not be used in user documents?
I do wonder what characters are considered "punctuation" for the purpose
of suppressing the next space. The standard six sentence termination
characters (?!.:;,) are honored, and so are many others (quotation
marks, including guillemot, square and curly braces, and parens). But
sentence opening characters (¿¡) are as well. Vertical bars (|¦) and
basic mathematical characters (+-=*) are not treated as punctuation.
Where (in the source or manuals) are these to be found?
As far as removing leading spaces, I do not see that it is necessary,
but it may help create more readable sources.
Thank you for the fix.
