The converse applies in my case, so that actually doesn't matter to
me. When I don't put it in, I don't put it in anywhere.
What does matter to me is that I rarely make spelling errors
(including typos) or omit internal spaces. That means I can get away
with not reading strings carefully most of the time, and I don't. But
omitted space at the joins of a continued string is frequent, and
frequently caught when I'm following skimming down a suite to the next
syntactic construct. But spaces at end never will be.
Ie, space-at-beginning makes for more effective review for me. YMMV.
