It would be nice if R ignored more unicode white space characters. For example, if I have "\u2028" in a command (which I get from a line-break in keynote) I get the following error:
> qplot(carat, price, data = diamonds, colour=clarity) Error: unexpected input in "qplot(carat, price, data = diamonds, ?" And occasionally have such problems when copying and pasting from emails as well. Wikipedia lists the following codepoints as whitespace (I'm sure there is a more definitive reference but I could not find one with some quick googling): U0009-U000D (Control characters, containing TAB, CR and LF) U0020 SPACE U0085 NEL U00A0 NBSP U1680 OGHAM SPACE MARK U180E MONGOLIAN VOWEL SEPARATOR U2000-U200A (different sorts of spaces) U2028 LSP U2029 PSP U202F NARROW NBSP U205F MEDIUM MATHEMATICAL SPACE U3000 IDEOGRAPHIC SPACE would it be possible for R to treat these all in the same way? (Or does it already but my R is misconfigured?)
