Wait, I'm confused; is that even logically possible?

A monospaced font has letters and symbols all of equal width, including 
interpunctions like "space" (the one you type with a space bar, not the 
conceptual inter-word space). Justifying a monospaced text would have to 
somehow add 'blank' (not calling it 'space' to keep things unambiguous) 
between words and single-letter-wide spaces.

If you want justification as well as monospaced spaces, your spaces are 
going to end up wider than the monospacing width, so you actually don't 
want monospaced spaces at all =/
