Busy doing a code sweep for standards and conventions and decided to install coder to lend a hand.

Noticed on http://drupal.org/coding-standards that String concatenations now stipulates that there needs to be a space between the quoted text and the . yet coder still reports the warning "string concatenation should be formatted without a space separating the operators (dot .) and a quote"

Which is it now? Help!

For D5 and D6, the official rule is that you should still have no space between the operator (dot .) and a quote (' or "). However, this has been relaxed so both rules are valid in D6, but D7 requires spaces on both sides of the dot. This is being dealt with in coder in a different issue: #246568: Coding standards of string concatenation have changed
