All parsers ignore a shitload of whitespace already. Just compare unformatted code, COMPLETELY unformatted code, code without character returns, and it'll become obvious how any given language is interpreted around whitespace.

Also fun to see just how infrequent a semicolon is 'actually' needed to tell when the end of a statement is here.
