I see, and you would be willing to break the cases where I may want to
put spaces around the . used for method invocations for clarity?
{
....
$foo . foobar ("Test1");
$foobar . baz ("Test2");
$tmtowdi . quux ("Test3");
....
}
That specific use of whitespace I don't do often, but I could see
doing it. I often do something like that when working with other
variable length identifiers.
