A leading withespace in Hash-String is not included?

[Alpengreis]

From v19.0.31 Help for @MD5:

The first parameter must be s for a string, and any leading or trailing whitespace characters in string are included.

But I have the same result with leading whitespace ...

echo %@md5[s,this is a string]
93D64091ADF43E8FC0B74257AFD82FC3

echo %@md5[s, this is a string]
93D64091ADF43E8FC0B74257AFD82FC3

A whitespace IN the string IS included ...

echo %@md5[s,this is a string]
93D64091ADF43E8FC0B74257AFD82FC3

echo %@md5[s,this  is a string]
E29B4B55C39A2A3C74805CD3DD89769F

Have I misunderstood the leading whitespace "thing"?

The documentation is wrong. Leading whitespace is always removed in var functions.
