Type of issue: Defect
Priority: Minor
R6RS component: Formal syntax
Version of the report: 5.91
3.2.6 \<linefeed><intraline whitespace> : nothing
Should be: \<intraline whitespace><linefeed><intraline whitespace>
Having a syntax that is suspectible to invisible trailing
whitespace is a bad idea (even if it is traditional).
This change may be viewed as conflicting with:
\<space> space "useful for terminating the previous escape sequence
before continuing with whitespace"
However, there is no problem, since \<space> is useless - I see no
specification for an escape sequence that might need such a terminator.
