Brilliant. This made my day. I must admit, I looked briefly at the paper after I saw the link, yawned, and closed it. Then I saw Andrew's comment, skimmed the paper, becoming more and more convinced that it was a joke, saw the last line, and then had to go back and read the whole thing again. Just awesome.
You didn't even need to read the last line. On page 6 of that paper:
A preprocessor that implements the facility for any current C++ implementation can be freely downloaded from http://www.research.att.com/~bs/whitespace.html.
Click on that link and tell me what you see. Incidentally, this is just typical Bjarne Stroustrup humor. It reminds me of "An Interview with Bjarne Stroustrup" (see http://www.ariel.com.au/jokes/An_Interview_with_Bjarne_Stroustrup.html). Read that interview and tell me what you think. -- Benjamin L.
