Is it possible to include spaces in orderless-literal?

[arozbiz]

Sometimes I would like to enter a multi word string and have orderless treat the entire string as a literal, rather than have it break it into components at the spaces. One (clunky) way of doing this is using regex: first[[:space:]]second[[:space:]]third. But ideally I could write something like ='first second third' instead. Is something like this possible?

If you are using the escapeable space splitter (which recently we made the default) you can use backslash to escape a space.

Brilliant, thank you!
