Details:

When a struct is created implicitly (i.e., by assigning a value to one of its
members), the interpreter does not ignore whitespace before the "." operator.
For example, the code in the following try block triggers an exception.


a.x = 1; % OK

try
  b .x = 1; % produces error: 'b' undefined
catch, fprintf('produces exception!\n'); end

c = struct();
c .x = 1; % OK
