Arbitrary whitespace restrictions on range types

Jeff, Hackers:

Is there a strong reason why this has to error?

postgres=# select '[,]'::TSTZRANGE
postgres-# ;
tstzrange
-----------
(,)
(1 row)

postgres=# select '[, ]'::TSTZRANGE;
ERROR: invalid input syntax for type timestamp with time zone: " "
LINE 1: select '[, ]'::TSTZRANGE
