* Ideally the fact that the font is monospace is auto-detected, but if
  that is difficult or impossible, it would be reasonable that I set some
  option to let the system know that spaces should not stretch.

Could we measure the width of an "i" and an "m", and if they're the same we'd be 99% sure it's a monospace font? If there are fontdimen features that could be set more appropriately for such cases, I'd be happy to add an automatic feature for this.

If I don't re-appear here after this discussion concludes, it's because I'm over-worked to exhaustion (I'm lecturing this semester unexpectedly). In which case make sure you summarise any important points on the issue tracker so that we can address them one day:

Many thanks,
