With an option to disable that and simply ignore all double spaces in input 
for those who don't like pre-1920 style typeset output. 

It is important that it can be disabled as if, as Ian proposes, Lout adds 
automatically bigger gaps after points which are at the end of a line and not 
after those in the middle of an input line (when double spaces after points 
are never used in the input), the result will be bad.

In any case, whatever the spacing in the output, it would seem better 
for multiple spaces in the input not to have a special meaning.
