[R] Whitespace

That looks like an error from Stan parsing your stan file, but the
code you put in the message doesn't look like Stan code, it looks like
R code, so maybe you've tried to parse your R code with Stan....

There's no mention of stan in the code either, like the rstan package,
so somehow you've got a Stan error message from some R code without
calling stan... Okay, I'm well confused now...
