Comment has no leading space

Reports comments without a leading space.

Note that the inspection works only if you select the Add a leading space to comments in Editor | Code Style | Go on the Other tab.

Comments with a leading space can be easier to read since the first word is separated from the comment by a space.

Example:

//Prints JSON received from the createJSON function
func printJSON(output []byte) {
	fmt.Println(string(output))
}
