Hi, I came across this issue some time, had no choice but lurk into make sources and hack the implicit rules code. I submitted a patch:

It can break backward compatibility on Windows/Dos/OS2 systems as Paul suggested in his comment due to path separator ambiguity.

Thanks for the explanation.

Please consider my report a feature request then, to make spaces work
there, "by accident", at least if that accident is easy to implement.
