Because apparently, while designing the Objective-C language, somebody
thought it was a world-class idea to allow any white-space between the
'@' character and the subsequent keyword. With this fix, we now
correctly parse:
@ dynamic
and:
@
selector
and:
@"foo"
"bar"
@"mooze"
(This last one is 1 single string split over multiple lines.)
Wonderful, isn't it?
What we (and Clang) do not support, but what GCC supports is something
like:
@"foo"@@ "bar" @"mooze" @@
which is equivalent to @"foobarmooze".
