Right. But that complicates the interface unnecessarily I think.
I'm going to apply the attached to give automatic support,
with the aforementioned caveat that BSD -r format checksums
where the _first_ file starts with a ' ' or '*' are not supported.
In that very unlikely case, one can always preprocess with sed 's/ / /'
