I forgot to mention (and document) that master.cf now supports
whitespace in daemon command lines, for example:
smtpd -o { parameter = value with whitespace } ...
Also, the { ... } form is now available for non-option command-line
arguments in master.cf, for example:
pipe ... argv=command { argument with whitespace } ...
This took only a two-line change in the master(8) source code,
because the support for "{ text }" was already implemented for the
other features.
I can only wish that I had the cycles to design these improvements
a few years earlier.
