True

Slate is separator-sensitive. That is, you must distinguish message-sends
with surrounding whitespace for it to be individualized. This is one
secret about Slate: that more characters than Squeak's normal set are
allowed for identifiers / selectors.

I don't see any reason for Dictionary detect: to fail in this perspective.
