When I think about this I think about streaming protocols, you have two types those that totally lose the thread when there is an error and those that don&#x27;t. And there is an issue of the typical hamming distance between valid code sequences.<p>I&#x27;m on the side of having to reflexively type an extra character or two to gain some parser redundancy and error detection. I&#x27;ve also read a few people talking about auto formatting tools and seems like they need all the help they can get.
