Why is there a leading space in WP_FOOTNOTES_OPEN?

    I was having an annoying problem with the plugin only picking up half of the footnotes in a recent article. Eventually I got it to work by removing the leading space in WP_FOOTNOTES_OPEN (i.e. changing it to ‘((‘ from ‘ ((‘). I can confirm that all of the instances of (( did have a space in front of them, but oddly, even looking for \s instead of the space character still did not work.

    Anyway… I was curious why the leading space was there (i.e. am I going to break something I didn’t think about)? And given that I can only get the plugin to work consistently by changing WP_FOOTNOTES_OPEN, I would like to propose that change for future releases of the plugin.

    Thanks.
