\numberofexercise with space after

[MichaelHuck]

Just add
There are \numberofexercises~exercises in this chapter.
to my document. Works.

There are \numberofexercises exercises in this chapter.
Works not, I lose the space after the number: e.g. I get:
There are 54exercises in this chapter.
instead of
There are 54 exercises in this chapter.
I know, this is a minor issue.

This is a standard behaviour of TeX/LaTeX macros. The space terminates the macro but maybe no space in the output is wanted (e.g. the \TeX book).
