I like to announce a Haskell style scanner at

Feedback is welcome.
I get lots of "multiple blanks" which I'd rather not "correct".
I often use multiple blanks to achieve vertical layout which is
especially useful in combination with lhs2TeX [1] whose polycode mode
requires multiple blanks to achieve proper indentation.
This code
instance Eq a => Eq (Maybe a) where
Nothing == Nothing = True
Just x == Just y = x == y
_ == _ = False
triggers this scan output:
scan-test.hs:2:10: up to column 12 multiple (2) blanks
scan-test.hs:2:14: up to column 16 multiple (2) blanks
scan-test.hs:2:23: up to column 25 multiple (2) blanks
scan-test.hs:3:9: up to column 12 multiple (3) blanks
scan-test.hs:3:14: up to column 16 multiple (2) blanks
scan-test.hs:3:22: up to column 25 multiple (3) blanks
scan-test.hs:4:4: up to column 12 multiple (8) blanks
scan-test.hs:4:14: up to column 16 multiple (2) blanks
scan-test.hs:4:17: up to column 25 multiple (8) blanks
I very much prefer the previous indentation over the following version
stripped down by scan - (using the hyphen option):
instance Eq a => Eq (Maybe a) where
Nothing == Nothing = True
Just x == Just y = x == y
_ == _ = False
I did not find a way to configure scan to ignore "multiple blanks".
Did I miss it?
