feature request - clean for char(160) \xa0

[dornech]

Hi there, many webpages use non-breaking space in textelements, however for subsequent processes this is sometimes troublesome. What's about an option for get() to clean a returned string value, i. e. to replace \xa0 with a normal space automatically?

I see your point, however I’m not sure it’s worth it doing at the Parsel level. I think it makes sense for post-processing to happen out of Parsel, at a later stage (e.g. using https://github.com/scrapy/itemloaders).
