Hello,
I've just started to use Vim, and missed the possibility to display
middle-dots (or any other visible character) instead of spaces, so I
made the following patch.
It adds "space" in the allowed "listchars" arguments.
Just in case someone find this useful ; I found easier to patch Vim
than to look for another existing solution ;-)
Best regards,
