Yes, spaces are a real pain and if you do a search on something like
"spaces underscore" virtually everything is "how do I replace spaces
with an underscore", not the other way round. 

Nevertheless, spaces are a valid character in filenames and it seems
not quite right to replace them without warning, no matter how much
pain it saves!
