    Description

      Quoting from this post:

      In the shell, spaces that are otherwise treated as separators can
      be either escaped or quoted to have them interpreted as ordinary
      characters. The rw_xxx_expand() functions let me escape spaces
      but they don't seem to like quoting. For example, the shell expands
      the following three strings to the same result:

           "a{b\ c,d}"    ==> "ab c ad"
           "a{b' 'c,d}"
           "a{b" "c,d}"
      

      but rw_brace_expand() fails on the last two. It should work the
      same as the shell.

      In the change below I've enhanced the 0.braceexpand.cpp test
      to exercise a number of (passing) test cases including plan as well
      as escaped whitespace:

      http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=642790&view=rev

      I think the same test cases should be added for quoted whitespace.
