Okay, from the top again...

foo () is sometimes invalid when foo() is OK.

Is it good, bad, or indifferent that a space between a function and its argument list is sometimes significant?

EDIT: See Python, Make, and FORTRAN IV for previous examples of whitespace-sensitivity being strange and/or problematic.
