Missing trailing newline in EXPECT is ignored. Should it be?

[xparq]

I mean it shouldn't, :) but is it because diff -b or whatever "auxilary"?!

This should fail, but doesn't:

SH echo x
EXPECT "x" # Mind the missing newline!

Not sure how long it's been this way! Maybe very long, as it's not a cardinal issue.

• Either fix that, or document it!
• Is it only the trailing newline that's ignored?! If it's really -b then is it all whitespace differences?!
