this particular bit of whitespace has nothing to do with the mangler or how it feels today. It's formatting done by the backtrace function, which clearly always puts a space-padded `+` rather than one without padding as under Linux.
Frankly, in general I'd agree with you, but here I don't see any reason to make the code more complex than it is.
