This makes me wonder if hard-space chars shouldn't act as whitespace as far
as Lisp is concerned, as opposed to having symbol syntax (or whatever - I
didn't check this). I don't have an opinion on the matter, but I think this
is not the first question of this sort I've seen on help-gnu-emacs: users
are surprised when what they see as whitespace does act as they expect
whitespace to ace.
