I noticed that.  The space was put there by ``indent''.  I would very
much like to get rid of that space and it would be easy to make the
perl script postprocess the ``indent'' output.  But in doing so, we
(obviously) generate different output than that of ``indent''.

I suppose the other solution is to fix indent.  :-)

FYI, I'm using GNU indent 2.2.5.
