There is no such defined character as control space. The proper way to
generate ^@ is control-@.  However, some terminal manufacturers'
keybaords (notably DEC and SUN) will transmit ^@ when that particular
sequence is typed. You have been taking advantage of a happy accident.

There is no problem with using M-SPC. Move just-one-space elsewhere.
