I know we don't just want to add new functions at random all the time. We did have \msg_space:, \msg_two_spaces: and \msg_four_spaces:. The argument for getting rid of them in that form was that they were not really functions, so using \c_space_tl seemed equally valid. With the implementation we have now, you can use "\ " for a space, but there is an argument for a semantic 'code indent'. So \msg_indent: would seem to be reasonable. Joseph
