Thanks, it may be worth mentioning that setting
ffap-file-name-with-spaces t has undsired effects on regular ffap. eg:
ffap on the /etc/passwd on the line

```
/etc/passwd /etc/hosts
```

will return /etc not the full path.

but this is a known limitation.

[Unfortunately it is also a limitation in the other implementation I
proposed, that of extending
 (assq 'file ffap-string-at-point-mode-alist)
so that doesn't buy anything.]
