Done.

OK, but then it should be explained in comment, I think.

This is how current implementation works - no limit on number of whitespaces
before and after the cunk. It's userspace interface, and we should be careful
adding new limitations. God forbid us break userspace. :-)

It looks insane, but this kind of things is quite possible if input string
is the result of heavy scripting.
