 I agree with you here, but I think the proposal in this ticket is still
 sensible, given that the perhaps-unexpected parsing started with a
 keyword. In the record update case, the perhaps-unexpected parsing isn't
 known until the open-brace, even though your brain has to parse the
 preceding space differently. To me, that's the real problem with the
 parsing of record-update: it's not left-to-right.
