That change was made very recently (8.0) and was done for technical reasons (attributes) not aesthetic ones. Personally, I agree that adding whitespace around double colon is a suspect move, but breaking valid code for the sake of one's own sense of aesthetic doesn't progress the language, it regresses it. -Sara TL;DR - I vote No to such a change
