It really is a rather small elephant. It can be jarring at first (unless you think of R, MatLab and Bash), but then you just stop thinking about it because it legit doesn't matter.

When you have to deal with a wide range of languages, stuff like this is small potatoes, compared to, say, indentation based structure. The latter can result in the completely non-obvious change of program flow due to a single errant space or tab.
