`~` outside of expression causes whitespace removal

[mwhipple]

In using a template which includes the literal text ~*, the whitespace after that string is collapsed even though it is not within handlebars. I.e. ~* foo ends up rendered as ~*foo. An adopted workaround is to pass this to a helper such as {{upper "~*"}} (for instance {{upper "~*"}} foo produces the desired ~* foo but this seems like a bug.

Hi,

I can't reproduce it. Can you provide an example?
