Also tracked in buzinas/tslint-eslint-rules#361.

TSLint core is somewhat moving away from these whitespace/stylistic rules (#3548) - it's unclear now whether this rule should land here or in tslint-eslint-rules.

Not everyone wants to use Prettier, and having to pull in another dependency like tslint-eslint-rules is not always possible/ideal.

Absolutely everything in tslint/eslint is stylistic: the semicolons rules, the template strings over concatenation, etc. So singling out spacing is unexpected and weird; the one reason to use tslint/eslint is to have consistency across the code base.

I disagree with this; we have multiple rule categories which are not "style" or "formatting": https://palantir.github.io/tslint/rules/

As per #4534, I'm going to close this and avoid adding new code formatting rules to TSLint core. If you want to enforce this specific check with tslint, it can live happily in a custom rule set outside this repo.
