The non-correcting spacing is most necessary when horizontal fixed-width alignment is required (e.g. in code blocks). Apart from that, I agree that it can be useful before round parentheses, which is where I've occasionally applied this, but we don't have a recipe-rule guide on this. If you can formulate one whose application would improve on the status quo, then we should definitely consider it. |
Then should they be changed to |
If it works, let's go for it. |
