-t and -T trimming trailing spaces

[StarGeek]

A post on StackOverflow is asking about the output of space only tags in `-T` output.  Exiftool seems to trim any trailing spaces with that output. 

So the question there is it possible to show trailing spaces using the  -t or -T option?

You can use the (undocumented) -ec option (ExifTool 11.54 or later) to escape control characters using C-style escape sequences and preserve trailing newlines, nulls and newlines, etc

An advantage of this is that a tab character inside a value won't mess up the -T formatting.

Cool.

I do what I can over there to answer exiftool questions (I have a weird idea of fun) and that's one I just couldn't figure out a workaround for.

Too bad I made a typo.   I meant "trailing spaces, nulls and newlines, etc"
