I could do that, though spaces are the better fill character (as the real
intention is to have the compare scan a little further into a potential
title). Using your example, with ! as filter, it will eventually compare ' '
and '!', space wins, you have movie 2, movie 3, movie.

The current code is the result of me trying not to touch the DB when making
my initial updates pre 0.20. I agree that something like #1678 is the only
way to make everyone happy but even that has drawbacks (I'll admit many of
them are for me).
