Why should that be hard? It's simply a matter of *not* treating <SP> as an
exception.

Or, as XEDIT and "sed" do, allowing the command itself to imply the framing
character
from a very large set such as all special characters.
I like the suggestion of having SDSF support (name) in the REXX API.
The hard part would be selecting a lead-in that doesn't otherwise exist
in SDSF commands.
It restricts the choice of scripting language to one that supports IRXEXCOM.
It may be reasonably easy. In CMS I once wrote glue code to interface
SQL/DS to Mainsail's scriptable debugger.
