I have been saying this for — what? — about 25 years…

IF somebody is very keen to these spaces, one can allow negative
numbers in
      default(output)
 — which mean the same as positive ones, but without spaces in "%g".

Hope this helps,
Ilya

  P.S.  Another quite annoying interoperability defect — with similar
  	duration of history of complaints — is that PARI does not allow
  	** as a synonym for ^.
