Is there a way to put a non-breaking space in a muse document?  This

Can you give me an example of a context there non-breaking space would
be useful?  The <example> tag inserts non-breaking space, and is
useful for displaying chunks of monospace, verbatim text, like code
snippets.
One example would be a reference to a course, like Math 106.  It looks ugly and distracts the reader if there is a line break at the space, so that "106" is at the beginning of a line.  A more striking example would be a name with initials or a title.  For instance, if you wrote "M. Olson" or "Mr. Olson" you wouldn't want a line break after the "M." or the "Mr.".
