The file doc/examples/ffi/ffi should not be included in the source RPM (I
think).
Yikes: the usage messsage from mlton is huge (sad, but not horrible), but
It is 112 columns wide (ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE).
It is printed with trailing space characters (also HORRIBLE).
These REALLY REALLY have to be fixed. I would think that the table function
shouldn't put trailing white space, but it depends on where else you use it.
Alternatively, in the List.foreach in ! usageRef you could trim trailing
blanks before adding a newline at the end. This fixes the trailing white
space, but not the length of the comments. The length also REALLY must be
fixed. Either go for multiple lines or shorten things. I would argue that
shorter messages are better since they are just supposed to remind you if you
kind-of already knew what was going on. If you don't, the man page is the
place to go. Just change the indentation of the whole list to 4 spaces and
then be brutal on truncating the messages.
