That is by design. Since a string can contain space characters,
the normal behavior is to read everything as a part of the the
string. scanf is defined differently.
Thank you, Ali - this explains few other discrepancies I found

Since it all started with "slurp" for me, I now see that using
"slurp" correctly is much trickier than I expected.
Oh well..
