It only parses 'for : 1' as a statement modifying loop where an operator is expected. : : I'd argue that the parse of 'say for 1' (with only one whitespace) is : incorrect. In case of doubt, ask STD.pm.
STD considers modifiers to be terminators, so 'for' will never be interpreted as a listop. I just fixed STD so that 'say for()' lets you call the for() function, however. Larry
