In 2.3.3.1 Basic Char Syntax of Emacs Lisp Reference, I can not
understant the last sentence in parenthesis.

`\ ' is equal `space'. Why need an extra space after `\ ' to seperate
it from the following text.

Thanks

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/23.1/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

Because spaces are also used to separate Lisp objects.  For such
questions, please send email to help-gnu-emacs rather than bug-gnu-emacs
in the future.  Thanks:
