[Richard Stallman]

Would someone like to implement the `space' display specification
on ttys?  Of course, it will have to round to an integer width.

Well, I can give some hints how to do it for someone who wants to
implement this.

 -- In handle_single_display_prop, let the Qspace subproperty
    through for terminal frames.

 -- In produce_glyphs, term.c and maybe elsewhere (msdos.c?), handle
    the case that it->what == IT_STRETCH in a way similar to
    x_produce_glyphs/produce_stretch_glyph, only produce some number
    of space glyphs instead of a stretch glyph.
