Subject: Make the default left text margin configurable from the command line,
 just like the default right margin already is.  This may be useful for people
 with expensive screen real estate.  Besides, it helps automated man(7) to
 mdoc(7) output comparisons to validate -Tman output. ok kristaps@ on an
 earlier version
