Can we establish (and document in codingconventions.html) a convention for 
whether there should be a space between the string constants and the macro 
name (that is, whether we use

  "foo"HOST_WIDE_INT_PRINT_DEC"bar"
or
  "foo" HOST_WIDE_INT_PRINT_DEC "bar"

)?  We're getting instances of both in the source, and it would be easiest
to establish a convention now before uses of both are widespread.
