Because unlike in algol 68 in python whitespace is relevant,
we could get by with requiring whitespace:
        x= -q                       # okay
        a<b and -a<c and -b < -d    # okay
        8 ** -2                     # okay

This is actually quite thoroughly untrue.  In python, *indentation* is
significant.  Whitespace (internal to a line) is not.

Whitespace (internal to a line) _mostly_ is not. It's not allowed within
names, and it is needed in the second example above, before the 'and's.
