= DESCRIPTION

Tests that the List quoting parser properly
ignores whitespace in lists. This becomes important
if your line endings are \x0d\x0a.

Characters that should be ignored are:

    \t
    \r
    \n
    \x20

Most likely there are more. James tells me that
the maximum Unicode char is \x10FFFF , so maybe
we should simply (re)construct the whitespace
list via IsSpace or \s on the fly.

Of course, in the parsed result, no item should
contain whitespace.

C<\xA0> is specifically an I<nonbreaking> whitespace
character and thus should B<not> break the list.
