Redcloth upwards - Jan 2008 - entities and spacing: (em|en)dash and arrow

Hello,
I notice that these entities are defined like this:

  def emdash opts
    "—"
  end
  def endash opts
    "–"
  end
  def arrow opts
    "→"
  end

However, any space from the original markup is stripped, so "hello --
world"
becomes "hello—world". I''ve overridden the methods
to deal with this:

  def emdash opts
    " — "
  end
  def endash opts
    " – "
  end
  def arrow opts
    " → "
  end

however, I''m not sure if this is the responsibility of the scanner
after
all, for these three?
