---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
 The xcode.project portfile variable treats strings as lists.

 The variable takes a single project file as an argument to be passed to
 xcode, but if a space is in the name, it passes the name wrapped in curly
 braces.

 Expected result:
 setting {{{xcode.project "Chat Core.xcodeproj"}}} does not lead to an
 error

 Returned result:
 {{{
 -->  Building ChatCore
 Error: Target org.macports.build returned: shell command "cd
 "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_Shared_Developer_MacPorts_Repository_trunk_dports_irc_ChatCore/work/trunk"
 && xcodebuild -project {Chat Core.xcodeproj} -target "ChatCore
 (Application)" -configuration Release build OBJROOT=build/ SYMROOT=build/
 " returned error 1
 Command output: xcodebuild: Error: the project name {Chat does not have a
 valid extension.
 }}}
 Note that '''''{'''Chat Core.xcodeproj'''}''''' is passed instead of
 ''Chat Core.xcodeproj''

 This issue is covered in #12429 which I did not reopen due to its
 commentary.

 I found at least one portfile (source:trunk/dports/aqua/IcyJuice/Portfile)
 that has workarounds in it to address this behavior.
