Wrt the space wastage, gfortran uses fixed width fields for each type for list directed output. This has the benefit of aligning columns when printing tables, at the cost of wasting space. The other choice, which some other compilers do, is to get rid of extra blanks similar to the various w=0 edit descriptors. Personally I would prefer this, but alas, history might force us to retain the present behavior.
