IMHO, the old compiler is right, whitespace should not be allowed in literals.

Whitespace can be \t or \n,\r which makes for strange literals (multilines) such as:

-

5

And would create ambiguity in some cases

is 4 - 5 two literals, or is it two literals separated by the - operator ?

For instance, 3 @ - 5 reads like gibberish.

But is 3 @ -5 a problem or not ? Why is the old compiler accepting -3 @ 5, and not 3 @ -5 ?
