Disable spaces around italic text

When using `\italic`, it seems that spaces are inserted before and after the 
formatted text. Is it possible to disable this, ie, place an italic character 
directly next to a non-italic character?

For example, the following prints 'a b c d e f g'; would it be possible to 
make it print 'ab cde fg', with b, c, e and f still italic?

\version "2.12.2"

\markup {
      a\italic{b c}d\italic"e f"g.
}

As an aside, it seems one can use either braces or double quotes to format a 
string containing spaces. Is there a difference between these two methods?

Thanks!
