 * **Ignore this (for now), read super important post below**
 * Firstly, I apologize, I could not find the bug report page I just want to report
   this -minor-, but eccentric bug- Feel free to close this after reading.
 * Okay, so I have a plugin I have been working on. It’s odd, because it was throwing
   an error in WordPress, and I fixed it by adding spaces.
 * I even changed the EOL from Windows (my dev machine) to the LAMP Stack (Unix/
   Linux) EOL. Still, only adding one or more spaces works.
 * The error says parse, so I imagine it’s some function that can’t handle spaces
   after }’s?, perhaps?
 * Anyways, here’s the screenshots (touched up a little for privacy).
 * In the first image I’m trying to indicate (and show a -bit- of context clues)
   the PHP file has no spaces and that the is the last line of code.

   This second is the error message as it appears. [img redacted]
 * I am curious to your thoughts and where I can find a bug report page? I may have
   missed it. I only looked for 3 minutes. px

 * Please close this! I looked at the page source afterwords and finally realized
   the problem is me!, as in my faulty code – with an extra bracket.
 * Goes to show ya (me) that some extra reflection and deep breaths work. can’t 
   believe… ~face palm~ XD
