There appeared to be too many instances of two spaces after a period
in the file to be accidental. In some ways, it was an invitation for
people to indicate if they have a preference.

I personally do not have a preference between two spaces after and one
space after, but I do have a preference against a mix of two spaces
after and one space after.

As it (IMO) takes effort (admittedly trivial, and quite likely
habitual) to insert a second space, I assume that this was a desired
thing and the one space was the aberration, hence the patch went in
favor of two spaces.

I'd just as soon submit a patch the other way (and if people have an
opinion one way or the other, I'm happy to include a change to
CodingGuidelines/SubmittingPatches based on people's opinions).
