OK - I have taken a closer look and I think my "fix" was wrong: I'm
going to revert it.
That will of course restore the previous behaviour where a first column
that's empty is deleted on export. There is an argument to be made that
that is "correct" behaviour: first, both the original version and
Achim's rewrite implement that behaviour, but also the relevant section
of the manual (section 3.5.10, Advanced Features) which lists the
special first column characters includes <space> among them.
That leaves the somewhat counterintuitive case of a completely empty
first column which is therefore deemed special and gets stripped. This
could be "fixed" as a special case but instead I propose to document that
behaviour in the above section, with a suggested workaround: if you
really, really want an empty first column, then add a second one.
WDYT?
