#12 Formatting Pointer Declarations

[Gavin Kingsley]

When formatting code such as:

int* a;
int* someFunction();

GC formats them as:

int *a;
int *someFunction();

Can this please be made a -space- option? This is our
preferred style and while it does have the weakness that

int *a, *b, *c;

works and

int* a, b, c;

does not (b and c are not pointers) to us, int* is the
type and "a" is the name. We don't use lists of
multiple variables.

I have hacked indent_spaces.c to change the behaviour by
inserting a return statement at the start of
Indent_AlignTypeNamesCom(). Naturally this is not a solution
but it seems to work well enough for me for now:

diff -u vendor/Sources//indent_spaces.c
