And here is the patch that fixes this.  [ \t]+ is picked instead of \s+ 
because \s+ is too ambiguous with Unicode (plus it catches \n and \r 
which it should not).

Since Camel 3 doesn't say anything about what whitespace character(s) 
(is|are) okay (it merely says "like this" -- cf. pp. 173), you should 
apply this patch for the sake of Camel 3 readers.
