Dear all,

As I understand it, a fixed width section (BTW, is "fixed width section" the
official term for this?) is defined as a line which is started by zero or
more spaces, and then a colon, *and then a space*, and then zero or more
characters.

:<spc>line1
:<spc>
:<spc>line3

But many editors (Emacs including) likes to trim trailing spaces, so when
the file is saved, the second line loses its space:

:<spc>line1
:
:<spc>line3

Should the second line be parsed as a fixed width section too or not?
