Swift's build tooling is meant to support spaces in the paths passed to them,
108+
but using spaces sometimes tickles bugs in Swift's build scripts or the tools
109+
they rely on. For example, [SR-13441](https://bugs.swift.org/browse/SR-13441)
110+
is caused by a space in the Xcode path used on macOS. If you see Swift's build
111+
tooling misbehave due to a space in a path, please
112+
[report the bug on the Swift bug tracker](https://swift.org/contributing/#reporting-bugs)
113+
and then change the path to work around it.
