Command Definitions

I don't know if this is already in the archives (Sourceforge's search 
engine is currently misbehaving), but I need a little help with host & 
service command definitions.

I was wondering, can command argument macros contain spaces? for instance 
if I have the following:

define command{
        command_name                    check_http
        command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http $ARG1$
        }

Can I then construct a service definition like this:

define service{
        host_name                       host1
        service_description             Check Virt Server 
        check_command           check_http!-H www.mydomain.com -u 
/testscript.pl
        ...

I know there doesn't seem like a good reason to do this (and that I should 
just use multiple macro arguments), but I have my reasons.

Thanks.
