Actually, that wasn't my hint -- don't feel that you have to work
on any of this.  This is a volunteer project, and you have your
own life.  We really appreciate any programming and patch
reviewing that you do, but at some point, other people will need
to start modifying the spacing code.

Similar to my comment on 1290, I still think it's a Critical
issue.  But quite possibly not a "programming" issue at all, so
maybe you should sit back and relax, and let other people play
with constants and/or write docs.  :)

Please bear this in mind with any Critical regression issue -- if
you think that the code is fine, and it's just a question of
tweaking default values and/or explaining the change, just say so.
