+highlight some non-escaped commonly confused characters such as
+@samp{‘} to encourage this. You can also add a backslash before whitespace
characters such as space, tab, newline and formfeed. However, it is
cleaner to use one of the easily readable escape sequences, such as
@samp{\t} or @samp{\s}, instead of an actual whitespace character such

integers, they now support the '+' and space flags.

For example '(defun foo (&optional))' is no longer an error. This is
