No big deal.  Changing the output was not the preferred solution anyway,
once I thought a bit about it.

Where would be the challenge if TeX didn't do such things?

Hm, but pasting together random stuff will not be trivial.  TeX even
adds a blank after the last character of a line.  I'll check if working
with interspersed occurrences of \s-{0,2} is feasible.  But I have my
doubts it will be.
