    _______________________________________________________

Details:

The interpreter often prints extra leading spaces before displaying a scalar
value.  As an example,


octave:22> format short eng
octave:23> x = pi*10e3
x =    31.4159e+003


I believe it would be clearer if the spaces were removed so that it appeared
as


x = 31.4159e+003


If this is done, the routines to change will be make_scalar_format and
make_complex_scalar_format in pr-output.cc.
