In one of my mode-hook, I set gin-left-hang-indent-re in the gin-mode.

	 (setq gin-left-hang-indent-re
	       "\\s *\\([-*]+\\|[a-zA-Z0-9]+[\\.:]+\\)\\s +")
	 (gin-mode 1)

However, when I use the gin-mode, it doesn't work properly. For example, I
typed the following text :

  ***  I      give              the     first  line     some    dummy  spaces
       and then       also           on        the           second      line
       and then       "fill-paragraph". The          problem   is the   spaces
       on the     first line        never       get   removed.  

When I pressed ESC q, see what I get !

  ***  I      give              the     first  line     some    dummy  spaces
       and then also on the second line and then "fill-paragraph". The problem
       is the spaces on the first line never get removed.


There must be something wrong in my regexp, because I tried the default
gin-left-hang-indent-re, it worked fine. Any direction please ?
