The blank, or space, character is ignored everywhere in Fortran
statements (except within character constants, which are enclosed
in a pair of apostrophes). Although you do not need to separate
items in Fortran statements with blanks, it is good practice to
include a liberal helping of them since they improve legibility and
often simplify editing. The only limitation (as explained below) is
that statement lines must not extend beyond column 72.
