I have one use case where this will be useful.
In http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/91359/focus=92106
I suggested a piece of code for .emacs that removes potentially
dangerous commands from the minibuffer history.
With a new variable `history-ignore-space'=t this will be unnecessary
since it's possible to not put dangerous commands to the minibuffer history
with just prepending a command with a space like e.g. " rm -rf ."
