Subject: Re: support of whitespace in a variable name
To: [email protected]
It's a pity... I used to use a variable named ' ' (a single space) to
suppress adding a whitespace when wrapping line of code using a backslash:
foo = bar$ \
baz
In this example the value of 'foo' variable would be 'barbaz' without any
whitespaces inside.
This trick allowed me to write more or less complex functions on multiple
lines without sacrificing code readabily.
