'--num-spaces' now allows any numerical value. alter apperance via negative values. replace with spaces via positive values (backwards compatible). do not alter tabs or their apperance via 0. help and man pages updated to reflect the changes. default (8) is unchanged. minor tweak to man pages: num replaced with spaces for consistency.
