I had the ascii manpage open and while it was sitting there I thought
that something looked off about it. I took a closer look and realised
that the columns of symbols in the hexadecimal set are left of the
octal and decimal sets by one character.
The included patch moves a space character from after the symbol
to after the hex digits so that all of the number columns in all
sets are three digits/characters wide.
I had the two open side-by-side for a while and it's very subtle
but I think this looks a tiny bit neater.
