Does a space-with-diacritic grapheme count as whitespace, for the purposes
of the Perl 6 grammar?  Sometimes it does, and sometimes it doesn't:

> "<foo \x[308]bar>".EVAL.perl
("foo", "bar")
> "+ \x[308]3".EVAL.perl
===SORRY!=== Error while compiling /home/zefram/tmp/EVAL_1
Prefix + requires an argument, but no valid term found
at /home/zefram/tmp/EVAL_1:1
------> +^ ?3
    expecting any of:
        prefix
> "Q \x[308]foo bar \x[308]".EVAL
===SORRY!=== Error while compiling /home/zefram/tmp/EVAL_2
Whitespace character (0x20) is not allowed as a delimiter
at /home/zefram/tmp/EVAL_2:1
------> Q^ ?foo bar ?

I think it should be consistent.
