selector-combinator-space-after
Require a single space or disallow whitespace after the combinators of selectors.

* These are combinators */
Combinators are used to combine several different selectors into new
and more specific ones. There are several types of combinators,
including: child (>
), adjacent sibling (+
),
general sibling (~
), and descendant (which is represented
by a blank space between two selectors).
The descendant combinator is not checked by this rule.
Also, +
and -
signs within
:nth-*()
arguments are not checked
(e.g. a:nth-child(2n+1)
).
The fix
option can automatically fix all of the problems reported by this
rule.
