We propose replacing spaces and tabs with "_" characters in benchmark plot and table file names and version strings. Currently, it is possible to specify a version string with spaces, e.g.:

data:
  ref:
    gcc:
      version: gcc 14.2.0 rc 0
      ...
    gchp:
      version: gchp 14.2.0 rc 0
  ...
  dev:
    gcc:
      version: gcc 14.2.0 rc 2
      ...
    gchp:
      version: gchp 14.2.0 rc 2
       ...

and this would result in several file names for benchmark plots and tables having spaces in them.

NOTE: PR #319 contains a new function named replace_whitespace that will strip whitespace from labels and file names. It has been applied to some of the newer benchmark scripts but needs to be applied to all benchmark scripts.

This issue can now be closed as PR #340 has been merged into the GCPy 1.6.0 development stream.
