in reply to When is newline not allowed as whitespace?

It would probably take a cold wet dive into toke.c to figure this out in detail.

As a matter of perl semantics, a handle in *print* is an indirect object, and not properly part of the argument list. Calling as printf(T @foo); runs the risk of misinterpretation, whils T->printf @foo; or printf T (@foo); does not.
