The open paren check wants to warn for spaces before open parenthesis for if/while/for but also for any function call. In order to avoid catching function pointer declarations, the logic allows a space if the first character after the open parenthesis is an asterisk.
I also spotted what we did not include "switch" in the check but we should.
This check is a little lame, but we reduce this problem by not allowing that space for if/while/for/switch.
