Nice.  But this solution only works in text modes.  I think it might be
confusing after getting used to and relying on it, e.g. if you don't have this
feature when writing a comment in some programming language.  And when your
sentence already has a dot, typing two spaces adds another one.

But I guess the last problem can be solved by modifying the regexp.
'paragraphs.el' (included in GNU Emacs) has `sentence-end', which returns the
regexp describing the end of a sentence.  Maybe start from there.
