-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------
 When using boost test with template based test cases it is possible that
 name create will contain whitespace (all const arguments, rest up to
 typeid(T).name). For such a name it is impossible to run test case due to
 bug in library related to parsing of command line arguments assuming ' '
 as a separator and cutting name of test case in place of space, even if
 properly enclosed in quotes in command line.

 Simple workaround would be to replace all space characters in name of test
 case with different one ('_'?). Resolution of
 https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/3384 would also solve that problem
 as well.
