i do like to check out the clj src every so often... now when i do that... (... because of my editor settings....) ... i get these colored indications about white-space anomalies.... so for example there are a lot of trailing space characters.... for example in core.clj.... also tabs are used instead of spaces in certain places... ( ...merge-with for example... )

now personally this really doesn't bother me... spaces, tabs, commas... whatever :-)....

...so i guess i just wanted to mention this... in case someone would actually like to have uniform white-space... and just did not know about this... i mean... if you look at the code for example on github... you can not really see the difference that easily...

Clojure source is a result of 1000s of patches and while we do try to minimize unnecessary whitespace in those, it happens. Not something the core team is concerned about.
