Unless I'm mistaken, Integer BASIC is a "deep tokenizer", so is it not the case the spaces exist only at entry time? IE, if one types 'PRINT"HELLO"' that will actually be LISTed as 'PRINT "HELLO"?
[That is my recollection. Storing tokens takes less space than storing the input text and on those tiny little
micros, every byte counted. -John]
