Description

MARKFAST's last parameter allows to specify whether whitespaces in the entries of the dictionary should be ignored. see docs

MARKTABLE does not support this. One way to add this feature is to support it down to the scripting language. However, it would break backwards compatibility, since it would change the syntax from

MARKTABLE(TypeExpression, NumberExpression, TableExpression 
          (,BooleanExpression, NumberExpression, 
          StringExpression, NumberExpression)? 
          (,StringExpression = NumberExpression)+)

to

MARKTABLE(TypeExpression, NumberExpression, TableExpression 
          (,BooleanExpression, NumberExpression, 
          StringExpression, NumberExpression, BooleanExpression)? 
          (,StringExpression = NumberExpression)+)
