Me too :-) Shouldn't this style be extended to include '!' and '?'
characters also? For those who may not know the rationale behind it:
"double space" is a pattern to distinguish the sentences. At the
practical side, there is an Emacs keybinding and a VIM option
(cpoptions += J) which utilizes the pattern to move between the
sentences.
