+Checks if there is more than one space between parameters and values. E.g. `foo -bar $baz -bat` instead of `foo   -bar   $baz   -bat`. This eliminates redundant whitespace that was probably added unintentionally.
+The rule does not check for whitespace between parameter and value when the colon syntax `-ParameterName:$ParameterValue` is used as some users prefer either 0 or 1 whitespace in this case.
