Yes, but note that it's *still* parseable, since the error is *outside*
the bra-kets; it's arguable whether being pedantic *here* is productive,
under the "be conservative what you send, liberal what you accept"
principle.  And yes, I *know* that someone's program, somewhere, has to
be a hard ass... I just don't know whether it's "ours" (:-) or not...
