Paredit strict backspace in the leftmost symbol/keyword/thing inserts a space instead

[PEZ]

Briefly, the problem is that when you press backspace in this form:

(if• :|foo)

It inserts a space between : and f, instead of just deleting the :. This is because the onlyWhitespaceLeftOfCursor that was being used to guard the new backspace on whitespace behavior function didn't verify that you were not deeply inside the current token (as opposed to just touching the left edge).

This is being addressed by @isaksky , here:

Hi, I'll open another issue if preferred but I'm finding this behavior elsewhere, when trying to use ) to skip past a nested matched closing paren in strict mode.

Skipping over a single matched closing paren with ) works fine.

Spaces are added when pressing ) to skip a paren that is nested. Doing so with the top-level paren removes all the spaces in some instances.

Same goes for all collection syntaxes () [] {} #{}

@kees- Thanks for reporting this. Please create a new issue.
