Whitespace

Whitespace is any non-empty string containing only characters that have the Pattern_White_Space Unicode property, namely:

U 0009 (horizontal tab, '\t')
U 000A (line feed, '\n')
U 000B (vertical tab)
U 000C (form feed)
U 000D (carriage return, '\r')
U 0020 (space, ' ')
U 0085 (next line)
U 200E (left-to-right mark)
U 200F (right-to-left mark)
U 2028 (line separator)
U 2029 (paragraph separator)

Rust is a “free-form” language, meaning that all forms of whitespace serve only to separate tokens in the grammar, and have no semantic significance.

A Rust program has identical meaning if each whitespace element is replaced with any other legal whitespace element, such as a single space character.
