Ah, so the reason why the with spaces count is much higher than I expected
is almost entirely down to one file - the remote driver.

Without spaces

$ git ls-files '*.[chx]' | xargs grep -E '(\([a-zA-Z _]+ \*+|\(((signed|unsigned|long|short|int|char|s?size_t|void) ?)+|switch+\(\(vir[a-zA-Z]*Type)\)([^ );,])' | awk '{print $1}' | uniq -c | sort -n | tail

With spaces

$ git ls-files '*.[chx]' | xargs grep -E '(\([a-zA-Z _]+ \*+|\(((signed|unsigned|long|short|int|char|s?size_t|void) ?)+|switch+\(\(vir[a-zA-Z]*Type)\) ([^ );,])'  | awk '{print $1}' | uniq -c | sort -n | tail

Amuzingly the remote driver has both styles on the very same line in many
cases !

Anyway, this just makes me prefer the  without-spaces style more because
remote driver is an outlier

Yes, I totally agree that - it is subjective and we should unify it.
