The ctags(1) file format uses whitespace as a field delimiter, and

there is no escaping mechanism, so tags cannot contain whitespace.
Consequently, we used to simply not tag macro arguments containing
space characters.  Instead, let's tag the first word, unless there
is a proper match for that word somewhere else.  For example, this
makes ":tquery" work in ntpd.conf(5).

Feature suggested by kn@, who also thinks the implementation looks
reasonable and works in his testing.
