If i understand the code correctly, the only place where white space really
matters is in the places where we manually go against the arg pointer, and
before those places is a skip_spaces now.
sscanf itself simply skips any leading spaces in the input, i confirmed
this on windows and linux.

Leading spaces in the sscanf format string are completely unnecessary, its
implied by how sscanf works.
