KEYSTACK and double-double quotes dropping spaces

[tmpease]

As documented,

KEYSTACK "abc " ""def""​

sends:

abc "def"​

As not documented

KEYSTACK ""abc "" "def"​

sends:

"abc"def​

not:

"abc" def​

All spaces in double-double quoted strings are dropped. Is this a bug?

this one is funny, too:

>KEYSTACK "abc " "" def""

>abc "def""

or

>KEYSTACK "abc " "" ""

>abc ""

WAD; KEYSTACK is correct; the help is wrong (or at least incomplete).

Two double quotes does not make a single leading double quote for a string argument, it just makes a single double quote, unrelated to anything that follows. So in your example, what you would want to enter is:

> keystack "" "abc" "" " def"
>"abc" def
