BTW, using '\ ' to mean space is probably a bad idea.  The escape should be
something that doesn't include any whitespace itself; that includes
higher-levels using space-delimited formats to read input containing escaped
strings without having to do low-level escaping parsing themselves.

If you want to use C-style escapes, something like '\s' seems better.
