1127	ifequal template tag does not accept hardcoded strings containing spaces	elcio@…	Adrian Holovaty	"This works:
{{{
{% ifequal test ""test"" %}
    foo...
{% endifequal %}

This not:
{{{
{% ifequal test ""test 2"" %}
    foo...

}}}

I'm afraid this is not an elegant solution. I think it must to be done in other template tags that uses token.contents.split() and are supposed to accept hardcoded strings. I think django/trunk/tests/othertests/templates.py must be also changed.
