How to deal with usernames that have spaces

I’m wondering how mentions works if the username being @mentioned has spaces in it.

I don’t like that drupal allows spaces by default but so it is and some of my users have spaces in their username.

Thoughts?

How about we go with matching anything between the prefix and suffix? This change in essence makes the pattern (?:\[~)([^\]]+)\].

This will match periods, hyphens and spaces.
