Hello,

Yes, I agree. And there is also "blank-agnostic" if you prefer fancy
expressions :)

The patch is correct, in my opinion. Although it would be nice to have
additionally a clear explanation in which contexts blanks in BPCHAR are
insignificant (like in comparison) and in which they are still
meaningful (like in concatenation), that issue could be addressed later
separately, and maybe not even in the docs but rather in wiki.
Regarding my name. I'm new to this list, so I didn't quite understand what
you were asking for exactly. If you just need to know the spelling of my
name, it's Sergei Katkoskii.
With best regards,
Sergei Katkovskii
