In this case, I'm modifying the parse function;)
Actually, % also comments the end of line in LaTeX. In addition, white chars
at the begining of the line are not taken into account. As a result, those
two forms are strictly equivalent.

This becomes important when you do some TeX coding:
\def\interfbuild#1#2{\mathrel{\mathop{%
\rlap{%
\raise .6ex%
\hbox{\ensuremath{#1}}%
}%
\raise -.2ex%
\hbox{\ensuremath{#2}}%
}}}
Those beasts become hairly when not indented, and extra spaces are not
welcome around those definitions. I know that your goal is not to eat
documents defining such beasts for now, but maybe one day ?
