[Commonmark.js] Bare hyperlinks with spaces: Are they supported?

Here: Allowing whitespaces in link URLs - #4 by ClikCode in 2018 @jgm wrote:

I’ve already made the change allowing whitespace inside <...> links.

But if I open commonmark.js demo and try <http://hyper.link/with spaces> there, it is rendered as is, that is, as <http://hyper.link/with spaces>. That is, as plain text, not as a hyperlink. Why is that?

Please read the current spec on Autolinks rather than rely on comments made seven years ago. You can investigate the history of the above @jgm quote if it matters to you.
