Germans are the best nitpickers. ;)

Anyway, it works fine now. Just like you described with an additional 
space after the period, none otherwise.

However, here is one more quirky case:

/*
this
is
a
test
.
*/

expands to

/*
this is a test */

I would have expected

/* this is a test */

However, this

/*
this
is
a
test
 */ (note the extra space at the beginning of the line)

expands to

/*
this is a test
 */

which I can understand, but I am not sure if this is intended or if it 
is supposed to also be

/* this is a test */

Thanks,
Christoph
