Today we require eg =colwidth 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 but it is useful when writing a table spec to be able to write eg =colwidth 1 2 3 4 56 7 8 where the column specs are in groups of 5.
Experience tells me this is useful with counting column specs.
So we just need to turn multiple spaces into one - when parsing =colwidth and =colalign.
