It's the next token. I've clarified the spec (in response to the bug you 
filed on the same issue).

I'll eventually get to issues whether they're sent by e-mail or as bugs. I 
just happen to deal with them in batches, and for the first half of this

going to get a confused "I thought we fixed this" response, or something 
like the above ("I fixed this at some point..."). :-)
