Although I agree that it would be handy, this would break all the other macros
already written that already deal with this issue.
A way round this is to add one single macro line: rename(name) after the
commands that introduced the space to rename the file to whatever can be used
by the other commands.
Lots of other commands and plugins produce image titles with spaces, so
resolving this in the image calculator alone I guess is not going to resolve
completely the problem.
