Kjetil, can I ask you to add your example how to work-around this issue to the "variables" draft.
After that I will tell Scott that the document is ready for IESG.

Stop! :)

There is still the yet unanswered question if leading or trailing white
space on the right side is an error, as it could never be matched by
any argument on the left side and is likely a mistake.
It is a generic problem with the relational extension, so I don't think we need to address it in the variables draft.

Besides, the right hand side of a string test can contain variables. So I don't think it is a good idea to make leading/trailing whitespaces in the rightmost parameter a runtime error.
