Well what should it be if it's not 12.4?

A syntax error.

I don't think this would cause any problems. It would just throw syntax error because there is white-space between? It would be just annoying to get syntax error because of extra white-space.

Maybe this is one of the situations where we should think "It's not a bug, it's a feature!"

Unless there is a situation that would make no sense to work or something, it should be left like it is now.
