The header is formatted by padding each column heading with spaces up to
the length of 12 characters. These padding spaces are naturally included
when coloring the entire header.

However, the preceding five spaces indentation for non-flat lists were
_not_ included in the Perl version, but _were_ included in the built-in
version. Let's adjust the former to align with the latter's behavior.

I had trouble understanding this. I think my confusion is that the padding was
printed when the header was colored, but it was not inside the colored part
whereas the subject lead be to think there was no indentation printed when the
header was colored.

Right, this is ambiguous, but I thought it was clear from the first
paragraph that "included" means "when coloring".

I'm not a native speaker, though, so I welcome suggestions to improve
this.

Maybe something along the lines of

add -i (Perl version): color header to match the C version

Both versions of `add -i` indent non-flat lists by five spaces. However when using color the C version prints these spaces after the ANSI color codes whereas the Perl version prints them before the color codes. Change the Perl version to match the C version to make testing easier.

I assume this change is so that we can use the same test for both
versions?

Correct.

Thanks,
