Summary0001714: Use consistent wording for splitting a macro value into fields/words
DescriptionThe lines 104939 try to say the same but use different words for it:

Line 104939 says:
> where a word, in this context, is defined to be a string delimited by the beginning of the line, a <blank>, or a <newline>

(This definition wrongly assumes that macro values are still related to the lines they originate from.)

Line 104946 says:
> each white-space-separated word
Desired ActionIn line 104939, replace the complicated definition with the simpler 'each white-space-separated word', with no intended change in meaning.

On page 3114 line 104939, change:
by the beginning of the line
to:
by the beginning of the value

Because 'beginning' is a positional value, not a character, and because white space includes some characters that are not <blank> or <newline> characters, changing it to just white space would be a change in meaning.
