A Great Idea

Name: Anonymous 2009-07-28 4:52

Hey /prog/, I just had a great idea. Let's use a double space (space space) as the delimiter between identifiers so we can have identifiers with spaces in them.

An example:
(defun  add to deck  (card  deck)
  (cons  card  deck))

And just let me point out that visual separation is the clearest way to indicate syntactic separation. Unlike “_” or “-”, which are the exact same length as the delimiter usually used with them (and are therefore indistinct and must be examined closely), a single space is no more than [b]half[b] the width of a double space — it's essentially impossible to confuse the two. Single spaces will be scanned over by the human reader, while double spaces will stick out like sore thumbs.
