OK gang, here is really the last change until 1990:
Another patch to TEX, removes inconsistency after optional spaces following
\else. (Before, the system would remove at most one space in one case,
or any number of spaces in the other, depending on whether the relation was
true or false! Not a useful feature...)

TEXSEM p.18,l.94, old version:
	passblock # bypass the else clause;
	go to bigswitch end;
	[falseend] begin do getnctok until curcmd≠spacer; go to reswitch end;

new version:
	passblock # bypass the else clause and an optional space that follows it;
	go to bigswitch end;
	[falseend] begin getnctok; if curcmd=spacer then getnctok;
	go to reswitch end;
