do in that case is say

linecount "some file with spaces.txt"

And then the operating system would treat everything within the quotes
as a single parameter.

Which is probably the same reason the HC team did it that way, because the example they used to give involved the ease of extracting object names. The name of an object is in the form:

stack "My Great Stack"
button "Click Me"

And if you wanted the short name you just got word 2 of the name. That would be a single parameter that was easy to pass to the engine.
