Patrick,

It looks like your patch does the trick.  I'd still like to cast my vote
for allowing backslash-escaped whitespace, because this:

  option\ 001

Is more readable than this:

  options\040001

And how about:

  12\04012\040612\040792 vs. 12\ 12\ 612\ 792

On the other hand, if I'm the only one trying to do crazy things like this,
it's probably not all that important.

Thanks again,

  -- Lars
