Function macros don't allow whitespace in first parameter. See issue 36027 for
further details. In short, a function macro with two parameters:

  $(fmacro,para1,para2 data)

cannot accept whitespaces in para1 currently even though it would be possible
as the first para ends with the ",".

Two solutions:

1. Explicitly mention it in the manpage.

2. Fix the bad parsing in dmake/function.c.
