C parsing: significance of spaces

[gary at mit-eddie.UUCP]

It seems that the lexer returns the LONGEST possible token; therefore
++ +   instead of + ++.

I played with this a little, thinking that a = b+++++c would work; but,
it doesen't because it is parsed as a = b++ ++ +c instead of 
				    a = b++ + ++c.

The longest interesting sequence of + and - with no spaces that I came up with:
	a = b+++-++c
which works out as
	a = b++ + -(++c).
