That is why you are the programmer, and I am the lowly consumer.
I will try adding a space back and linting again.

Putting back spaces and it still lints correctly. Must have been some other
problem in the file that was corrected when I removed the spaces between and
put one back. Or maybe it was because I had my original line before it but
commented out and the parser didn't skip the commented line but read it instead.
