I enable ocd-mode in my brain while reading patches ;)

More seriously, I've gotten used to using double spaces and so single
spaced sentences stand out to me more now.

The trouble is that sometimes a period followed by a space doesn't end a
sentence, e.g., in "Mr. Foo".  Actually, this ambiguity is what
convinced me to switch over to double spacing.  Such cases might be rare
enough in commit messages and docstrings that we could get away with
some automatic warning on all matches for "\\sw[.] \\<" though.

Thanks, I will push to master in a couple of days.
