eq(n) has issues when spaces present

Description

Code like:

$( 'img:eq(1)' ).hide();

works fine, but this code:

$( 'img:eq( 1 )' ).hide();

does not work. Spaces should be acceptable inside the eq to allow both eq(n) and eq( n )

In our coding guidelines it states spaces must be present between all brackets to make the code clearer, but now I have break out coding guidelines to make my eq work.

Please fix

Documented selector syntax does not purport the allowance of spaces in selector strings. The space is generally regarded as descendant selector syntax
