I would like to see spaces or no spaces not make any difference. To me
there is no logic in different behavior based on the (non-)use of
spaces. There is the setvar space issue here and here's an example taken
from Chapter 6 of the Asterisk book:
exten => 123,1,Set(TEST=$[2+1]) <- means TEST = "2+1"
while
exten => 123,1,Set(TEST=$[2 + 1] <- means TEST = "3"

Admittedly a long time ago but in math class at school "2+1" and "2 + 1"
always added up to "3" :)
