Dear gang,
For some macro writing, I need a low-level command that will gobble the
space before it so that
=========
Here is some text.%
\mycommand
=========
is equivalent to
=========
Here is some text.
\mycommand
=========
without the %. I'm sure there's a context command for this hidden
somewhere...
Best
Idris

You can use \removeunwantedspaces, it use plain TeX's \unskip
primtive but only in horizontal mode.
