[PATCH v3 13/13] pretty: support %>> that steal trailing spaces

From
Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@gmail.com>

<1366100702-31745-1-git-send-email-pclouds@gmail.com>

This is pretty useful in `%<(100)%s%Cred%>(20)% an' where %s does not use up all 100 columns and %an needs more than 20 columns. By replacing %>(20) with %>>(20), %an can steal spaces from %s.

%>> understands escape sequences, so %Cred does not stop it from stealing spaces in %<(100).
