Comment:

 Seems like a simple fix, should probably update the patch to space out the
 attribute to conform with the coding standards.

 I did test a few versions back, and in 2.0 when `sanitize_option` was
 introduced this was not a problem, but in 2.9 it does happen, so somewhere
 along that road a regression occurred that was missed.

 We should probably also have unit tests for `sanitize_option` when
 considering all the functions the various cases relies on.
