Unfortunately not. I got in a huge fight with someone in the developer forums a year ago over this. This person was of the opinion that the inability to tolerate missing spaces was characteristic of Pascal-era compilers (that is, the 1970s), and any self-respecting modern compiler should be able to figure it out. My attempt to explain that the presence or absence of spaces carried semantic information … didn’t go well.
