[Feature] add a whitespace when rules append to notes or prepend to notes

• Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

If I use "append to notes" or "prepend to notes" in a rule, the new text is added right next to the old. For example:

note before rule applied	rule	note after rule applied
foo	append to note #bar	foo#bar
foo	prepend to note #bar	#barfoo

This may have the effect of producing altered notes with new or broken tags or typos.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

When appending or prepending, add an additional whitespace character as padding to avoid typos and breaking tags.

note before rule applied	rule	note after rule applied
foo	append to note #bar	foo #bar
foo	prepend to note #bar	#bar foo

Note there is a current workaround: simply include a whitespace before or after the text to be appended or prepended. E.g.

note before rule applied	rule	note after rule applied
foo	append to note #bar	foo #bar
foo	prepend to note #bar	#bar foo

However, this may result in leading or trailing whitespace in notes:

note before rule applied	rule	note after rule applied
``	append to note #bar	#bar
``	prepend to note #bar	#bar
