Research direction

Reproduce package submission with the name "Modern Macros" and trace the save path that produces the generic red-bar error. Determine whether spaces should be rejected or supported, then make the failure explain the cause and verify the resulting submission behavior.

Description

I submitted a package with the name "Modern Macros" and got the message "Save failed." in a red bar on the top with no hints as to why it failed. It looks like spaces are not okay. I also somehow didn't realize that this name was the name that one passes to things like raco pkg install somehow. Not sure the latter point is fixable, tho!
