OK, but that doesn't help with the annoyance in xpr and friends.
Anybody typing an expression with spaces into xpr can continue to use
print followed by xpr without arguments. For the usual case, when
there's exactly one argument, my patch resolves the annoyance. It now
handles the $argc > 1 case as an error.
So, why not install this patch in master, now?
