Damn. I guess you guys are all going to hate me for asking this, but ...
what exactly is a mathematical space?

Jill

PS. I'm going to pre-empt any puns on other interpretations of the phrase
"mathematical space", such as phase space, N-dimensional space, Hilbert
space and so on. Don't go there.

PPS. I'm not sure if this is going to go off thread or not. Please feel free
to change the subject if it is.

i'd say wide. narrow means not incorporating some characters that would
naturally fit into 'white space'. if i was parsing some text i'd
consider a non-breaking space white space and i'd expect my code to
reflect that. why would you not want your code to treat a non-breaking
space or mathematical space not as white space?
