Doesn't the POSIX requirement say "not treated specially"? Treating
them as spaces rather than as themselves seems like "special"
treatment to me. The original error might have been more in the
spirit of the directions. On the other hand they're meaningless as
themselves, except to cause that very error, so I don't really have an
objection.
