The variable leading_space is initially used to represent the index of
the last space seen before a non-space. Then later it represents the
index of the first non-indent character.
It will prove simpler to replace it by a variable representing a number
of bytes. Eventually it will represent the number of bytes written so
far (in the stream != NULL case).
