To be correct, space put around binary selectors should not be significant.
That is (1 - -2) should lead same result as (1--2).
This is not exactly the same as space placed between minus sign and following
digit like in my example. Space are significant as a separator of course, and
(- 2) should maybe not be interpreted as a literal constant (nor a valid
expression). In VW, this syntax is rejected, you can check the bible again.
