- OUCH! Boy was it a mistake to open my mouth (or is that fingers? :-)
- before checking this stuff out. Both fieldfind() and realngname()
- expect a hard-coded space between fields. I remember at the time I
- was doing the port thinking that it was pretty stupid to require a
- specific character, but strchr() is probably in-lined by most
- compilers nowadays, so perhaps there's a significant speed advantage
- over something like strspn().
