But [(fun1 1 3 4) 7] already is a valid expression, equivalent to [(fun1
1 3 4 7)] and [fun1 1 3 4 7]. The "whitespace operator" can have only
one meaning.
Haskell, being a functional language, makes function application as easy
as possible. Lisp, being a list processing language, makes construction
of lists as easy as possible.
