Task description containing a space after a period.

[ghost]

In my Rakefile if for a particular task i specify the description as desc "foo.bar" then the description appears correctly when i run rake -T as # foo.bar. But if i enter the description as desc "foo. bar"(space after the period), then only # foo shows up when i run rake -T. Am i missing something here or is this a bug ?

This is a feature of rake:

$ cat test.rf
desc "This is a task.  It has a long description."
task :task
$ rake -f test.rf -T
rake publish            # Publish the Documentation to RubyForge
rake task               # This is a task
rake test:times[limit]  # Find the slowest unit tests
$ rake -f test.rf -D
rake publish
    Publish the Documentation to RubyForge.

rake task
    This is a task.  It has a long description.

rake test:times[limit]
    Find the slowest unit tests
