Me, too. Other cases to consider:
@x = qqw( abc @def ghi );
...which would need to have three elements, to match this:
@x = qqw( x:abc x:@def x:ghi );
It would be bizarre for the second example to only have x: on the first element
from @def. If @def is empty, it ought to become "", similarly.
Someone will probably have to stop and think about:
@x = qqw(
abc
$def->{ ... ... ... }
ghi
);
...because of the spaces in the expr in the second element. I think this is
okay.

Agreed.

I have no feelings on this.
