Right. The code just checks for a single whitespace character. I wrote
the doc string before the body of the function and changed my mind
when writing the latter. I don't know yet what's better: check whether
everything before point is blank or whether there is a single blank
before point, i.e. whether this is a bug or a doc-bug. Of course
completion is rather pointless if there is no symbol at point ...
