Comment (by chriscct7):

 Mostly readability, but given its been that way since the project start I
 highly doubt a change is coming.

 WordPress follows an interpretation of the
 [http://pear.php.net/manual/en/standards.control.php PEAR style] which is
 used by several extremely large projects like [https://drupal.org/coding-
 standards Drupal] for instance.

 PEAR's guide clearly states spaces before and after braces.
