[Gambas-user] Val function changed behaviour, porting gambas2 to gambas3

This is just noting the change in case it might help someone else - not 
a plea for a change.

In g2, the Val function would ignore that part of its input string after 
the first space, so that, for instance Val("12  3 5") would return the 
integer value 12.

Here and there, I use this feature when parsing a string into discrete 
numbers.

Converting to g3 (specifically g3.8.2) this no longer works as before; 
Val now returns Null on such a string.

The solution is obvious: append a space to the string (to guarantee 
there is one!) and then extract up to the first space before using Val.
