------------------------------+-----------------
 We are adding Unix domain socket support to Tor Launcher and Torbutton
 (see #14270 and its child tickets). But there does not seem to be a way to
 configure a Unix domain socket path that contains a space character
 (spaces within path names are somewhat common on macOS at least).

 When I include a space in a ControlPort or SocksPort directive, it is
 interpreted as the separator that precedes the flags.

 If there is a way to do this, please tell me how.
 If there is not currently a way, then please give me a hint as to how to
 fix it.
