When I run dust example output is as follows:

 4.0K   ┌── README.org                     │                                                                                                                                                              █ │   0%

|_ there is space

Instead can I remove the space at each line as:

There isn't an option to do that.

I suppose we could remove that first space.

The space is there because I wanted to handle strings like "1023K" (ie just below 1M). We could remove the space but then how would you handle the case where we need to print 1023K ?

Maybe we could remova space if there is no 1023K (4 digit file sizes)?

Yes that would be an option. I can look at doing that. I suspect I did it this way for simplicity originally.

(An alternative could be to show 1023K as 0.9M but I don't like this idea.)
