Taking embedded spaces out of existing prefixes makes them better class-prefixes; simplifying the extra quoting needed otherwise:
$> echo format "^gvt: core:" +p >control vs $> echo format ^gvt:core: +p >control
Dropping the internal spaces means that quotes are only needed when the trailing space is required; they more distinctively signal that requirement.
Consider a generic drm-debug example:
# turn off ATOMIC reports echo format "^drm:atomic: " -p > control
# turn off all ATOMIC:* reports, including any sub-categories echo format "^drm:atomic:" -p > control
# turn on ATOMIC:FAIL: reports echo format "^drm:atomic:fail: " +p > control
Removing embedded spaces in the class-prefixes simplifies the corresponding match-prefix. This means that "quoted" match-prefixes are only needed when the trailing space is desired, in order to exclude explicitly sub-categorized pr-debugs; in this example, "drm:atomic:fail:".
