This shouldn't be a problem. The whitespace rule changes I believe should be avoided (Abigail does have a point there) is if whitespace between composite constructs were to be disallowed. I don't see required whitespace being a problem outside golf/obfu. That said, I'm not sure how keen I am on the idea of "one-sided" vector operators. It seems to me that this is too big a semantic choice to make merely by omission of a single (and quite dainty) character. I'd rather express this by forcing a context on the operand. The precedent so far also seems to be a rule-of-thumb that "I have to write more when I want to be explicit". -- Regards, Aristotle "If you can't laugh at yourself, you don't take life seriously enough."
