GNU Emacs 18.55.121 on NeXT 2.0

Currently, Occur tags line numbers using a %3d format.  This means
that 1- or 2-digit line numbers have leading spaces.

Although this has the nice property of lining up line numbers < 1000,
it has the less nice property of making the line number pattern
"^ ?[0-9]+:" instead of the simpler "^[0-9]:".  (I often re-process
Occur output.)

May I suggest that either format %d be used or that the leading spaces
be replaced by 0's?  I'd also suggest that a space be put after the
colon to make reading easier.

This is obviously no big deal.
