I disagree with "bad", and I disagree with "better". Sorry.
I, for one (perhaps literally), think this
function( a, b, c );
$hash{ $x };
$array[ $i ];
is better than this
function(a, b, c);
$hash{$x};
$array[$i];
so I'm not shy about an extra space around tokens.
But *two* extra spaces? Unless it's to align things
vertically, then no, please, not in documentation.
