Not sure what you mean here - is it a joke? The first looks like an if 
statement, but isn't. The missing space *does* make a difference. (Try 
"if0" instead.)

The second is normal indexing, which allows white space. I wouldn't 
consider that surprising, but maybe I should? (Honest question, I really 
don't know.)
