    Wait.  That doesn't make any sense.  I haven't seen *anyone* ask for plain
    search to treat spaces as "just one SPC char".

That is what it does now.

      AFAICT everybody is happy
    with the behavior where a space in the search text is interpreted as "any
    sequence of blank chars".

Do you mean, everyone would be happy if a space in string search text
were interpreted that way?
