Hello,
Is there any reason why the "gap" in a string literal is
defined as
gap -> \whitechar {whitechar}\
(in Section 2.6 of the report), rather than
gap -> \whitespace\
? The second, more liberal, definition of "gap" seems more
natural. Moreover, it would allow comments in the gaps, which
I would find useful. For example,
classHeader :: String
classHeader = "\xca\xfe\xba\xbe\ -- magic number
\\x00\x03\ -- minor version
\\x00\x2d" -- major version
