The changes committed in rev:100605 reassigns the next character to the
variable `c'.
When the next character is SPC (32, #o40, #x20), old style backquote is
detected.
if (first_in_list && (c = READCHAR, UNREAD (c), c == ' '))
{
Vold_style_backquotes = Qt;
goto default_label;
}
But backquote handling is skipped because `c' is SPC.
default_label:
if (c <= 040) goto retry;
... old style backquote handling ...
My patch avoids reassignment of `c' not to skip old style backquote handling.
To keep more compatibility with released Emacs, it is preferable to
allow a character such as \r or \n after the old style backquote.
