Hi all,

I'm working with a few custom macros to simplify typing a bit, like:

\def\VHDL{\small{VHDL}}

However, when I use this macro in text, like \VHDL this, it gobbles the space after it. I've seen some references that say to solve this by writing \VHDL{} instead, but that is of course very unpretty. I've tried to put all kinds of stuff ({}, \mbox{}, \obeyedspace, etc.) inside the \VHDL macro, but it seems the space is already gone there, so that didn't work. (Note that just putting a space inside the macro won't work, for cases where I use \VHDL, like this)

\autoinsertnextspace is the context version of \xspace (could be mkii only)
