Yes, and that's what we want.

Oops, indeed, it does. The patch below fixes it,

PS: The reason [:space:] doesn't skip forward is because in
emacs-lisp-mode, like in many other modes, LF has syntax "comment-end"
rather than "whitespace". It's usually not a good idea to use the
"\\s-" regexp or the [:space:] char-class for that reason: better use
something like [ \t\n\r].
