#736 format differences between 'print' and 'printf'

There seems to be a difference between the format specifications in 'print' and in 'printf' (which is certainly not the case in IDL). Example:
GDL> print,7,8,9,format='(i4,i4,i4)'
7 8 9

GDL> openw,1,'test.txt'
GDL> printf,1,7,8,9,format='(i4,i4,i4)'
GDL> close,1
GDL> $more test.txt
7 8 9

The first case looks fine: there are 3 blanks before the integer, but in the second case the blanks are coming after the integer ... :-(

Is there a reason for the different handling of 'format'?

Thanks!

Thomas

Please note that development of GDL had moved to Github back in 2018.
Please report the problem on GitHub: http://github.com/gnudatalanguage/gdl/issues/
Version of GDL used will be very useful to diagnose the issue.
Thanks,
Sylwester
