Symbol name and whitespaces

I noticed a thing with symbol names - say I have a symbol with the name “My Symbol” and I save it as “My Symbol 2”, KiCad automatically renames it to “My_Symbol_2”, basically replacing all the whitespace characters with underscore. Why is that? I don’t get any errors if a symbol has white space instead of underscore.
