We're going to make a slight spec change here: @f formatting will normally have spaces, unless the - flag is used, while @F formatting will not unless the + flag is used. Using @F previously was inconsistent: straight fractions only used to have spaces, while mixed values would not ... This will necessitate some test/canon file changes.

The related change is that "alwaysProper" fractions (as for Complex numbers and Quaternions) will always NOT have spaces.

This all "seems" more consistent to me now.
