that would be totally illogical. the point of using ${foo} instead of $foo is that in some cases you really need ${foo}: source=($pkgname_$pkgver) won't work, but source=(${pkgname}_$pkgver) will. (just an example but probably you got the point). because of this, some projects (like gentoo) force the usage of ${foo} everywhere. this is not related to spaces, to deal with them, you always need quotes.
