Why is ColdFusion adding whitespace when I call a function in cfoutput?

If I do something like this in ColdFusion:

<cfoutput>foo="#foo()#"</cfoutput>

The resulting HTML has a space in front of it:

foo=" BAR"

However, if it is not a function call it works fine, i.e.:

<cfset fooOut=foo() />
<cfoutput>foo="#fooOut#"</cfoutput>

Gives this output:

foo="BAR"

Where is this extra space coming from and is there anything I can do about it?
