The ~t formater is not working according to spec in the REPL.
Try this for instance:
(format #t "~10tA~20tB~30tC~40tD")
will print:
AB C D
Although it works from a script or when outputing to a sting.
Also, it works after a newline.

That isn't the right question, it turns out. 21 is the length of the
`scheme@(guile-user)> ' prompt. We need to set the output port column
to 0 after printing a prompt. In the readline case it's different
because readline is the part that prints the prompt.
Fixed in stable-2.0.
Thanks for the report,
Andy
