Is there a specific reason for calling out two spaces in comments after a period(I realize it's probably for consistency, but I sure don't ever think about this when I write comment)? Otherwise who actually still writes using two spaces after punctuation? :)

I couldn't find it in the reference but AFAIK is something that is also done in ReStructured Text.
