This has nothing to do with AND or OR. Any situation where you have
some digits followed by something that can't be part of a number will
be lexed as two separate tokens. I'm not sure we could change that,
because it's a pretty basic aspect of a flex lexer; and even if we
could I'm not eager to face the wrath of all the users whose queries
would break. Leaving out "unnecessary" spaces is a pretty common habit.
