in thread regexp - replace spaces in quoted string

Sounds like a feature request to me. ;)

Another suggestion: if the whole regex is surrounded by a fully qualified (?xi-sm: ... ) block, then it's likely created by the qr// stringification, and not as presented. I would consider stripping that off and then explain the modes at the end along with any /g /e explanations.
