blank has its own namespace, so there cannot be interference

according to taco (sitting next to me): tex removes the last hfil before
applying parfilskip
you need to keep in mind that begin/end paragraph handling is also
influenced by hard coded tex behaviour
if we start messing around with tricks to bypass that we end up in a mess
this is one reason for using struts (adding kern 0 pt may also help: ...
\hfil \kern0pt
