#84 Forward() and leaveWhitespace() do not work together

[Andi McClure]

Try running the following test script:

from pyparsing import *

x = OneOrMore( Regex(".") )
x.leaveWhitespace()
print( x.parseString("x x") )

x = Forward()
x << OneOrMore( Regex(".") )
x.leaveWhitespace()
print( x.parseString("x x") )

x = Forward()
x.leaveWhitespace()
x << OneOrMore( Regex(".") )
print( x.parseString("x x") )

Expected behavior: ['x', ' ', 'x'] printed three times
Observed behavior: ['x', ' ', 'x'] printed once, ['x', 'x'] printed twice.

It appears that leaveWhitespace() has no effect when called on a Forward object.
Checking Google finds older code (from like 2006) where people where using leaveWhitespace on a Forward(), so apparently this worked at one time.

I should have mentioned, I saw this running 2.0.3, however I did an easy_install -U and upgraded to 2.0.6 and I still see the problem.
