Hi Eric, Thanks for this posting. Out of curiousity why do you need to preserve multiple spaces?
Do you think you could update the code to allow a new configuration variable? If you did, and posted the patch to the issues page, I expect it would be accepted, as this sounds like the sort of thing that is useful to be able to do.
