Ah, thank you :-)

Of course, special macros should retain untouched.

But I was rather thinking of a 'mode' or something in which _all_ doubled
whitespace (no matter how they happened to occur) are represented as _one_
space. This, in other words, would mean to disallow entering spaces at
the beginning of a line, disallow entering more than one, and
automatically remove them when they happen due to deletion of text because
TeXmacs is wysiwyg (or wysiwyw, as somebody once put it).

I like the clear structured way TeXmacs uses and find the way it handles
spaces rather annoying; it seems to break the idea because multiples of
spaces should _never_ be used. I think I don't have to put out the
advantages of macros like \hspace \*skip etc., or of the even better ways
to structurally produce the layout you want to have (by using margins,
indentations etc.)
