RE: [sv-bc] white space at the end of macro text

OK, but 
"The LRM only says they can be used in macro text."
as opposed to 
"The LRM says they can only be used in macro text."

It does not explicitly say they cannot be used in actual arguments. I
don't have an opinion yet about whether it would be useful. I do think
it needs to be explicit.
