missing-space-after-todo-colon (TD007)

Derived from the flake8-todos linter.

What it does

Checks that the colon after a "TODO" tag is followed by a space.

Why is this bad?

"TODO" tags are typically followed by a parenthesized author name, a colon, a space, and a description of the issue, in that order.

Deviating from this pattern can lead to inconsistent and non-idiomatic comments.

Example

# TODO(charlie):fix this

Use instead:

# TODO(charlie): fix this
