Parameter defaults with spaces

See original GitHub issue

I have a scenario where I create a new instance of an object as a default value, e.g.:

@param {SomeObject} [param=new DefaultSomeObject()] - A complex default parameter

Right now, this does not parse correctly (it cuts off at the first space, i.e. after the new).

One quick fix for this is to use a non breaking space HTML entity (thanks to @sandrastenzi).

@param {SomeObject} [param=new&nbsp;DefaultSomeObject()] - A complex default parameter

This works in ESDoc v0.4.6
