Details:
In ea3028 (see also 7f5f62 and possibly also 1a27a8), the old method of
aligning up the columns in map data with spaces was dropped. This makes
reading and editing of plain map data a lot harder for no apparent tangible
benefit.
The old way padded each entry to a length of 12 (excluding the preceding
space):
Gs^Fms , Gs^Fp , Gg , Gg
Wo , Wo , Ur , Cud
The new format only includes the preceding space:
Gs^Fms, Gs^Fp, Gg, Gg
Wo, Wo, Ur, Cud
So, I'd suggest restoring the old padding behavior, although the number of
spaces could be reduced if necessary; since a terrain string cannot be longer
than 9 characters, the column width could be reduced from 12 to 9. As
future-proofing, the code should probably handle even longer strings
gracefully, or to signal an error if one is encountered.
P.S. Alarantalara made the change, so I'm assigning to him initially just so
he gets notified, in case he has input.
