Maybe we could extend that. It=E2=80=99s a convention notably followed by Emacs=E2=80=99s =E2=80=98forw= ard-sentence=E2=80=99 function, and also a Texinfo thing (info "(texinfo) Not Ending a Sentence"). Hmm actually the Texinfo manual now suggests the opposite (i.e., that it needs help only for non-end-of-sentence spacing), but I wonder if it=E2=80= =99s accurate. Ludo=E2=80=99.
