`make` feel very deeply in that category, to the point where it's not
just space, but several different characters and that it does not
include the necessary quoting functionality to make it *possible* to
deal with those characters.
Just try to write makefiles that build files with colons, semi colons,
etc..
Looked at through the lense of "sh vs csh", `make` is like `csh`, except
its quoting is even more lacking and there's no replacement for "make"
that could play the role of "sh" :-(
