Ok, whitespaces " \n\r\t" are fine too. Will fix it in the next revision.

My proposal is to fix `parse_area_spec` so it can distinguish a valid memory 
area specification from the following sample file names:
	4k.bin
	4k-8k.txt
	4096+1k_of_random_bytes

Without this final check parse_area_spec would return 0 for the last two 
samples, which are not valid area specifications.

Sounds good, will fix it as well.
