SA1008 triggered by typle return types on a method (c# version 7)

The following method triggers SA1008

public (string primary, string alternate) CalculateMetaphone(string word)
      ~
{
}

the only way to avoid the rule is thus:

public(string primary, string alternate) CalculateMetaphone(string word)

which is clearly incorrect. if the return type is a tuple, then a space should be inserted.

I’m also running into it. I’m working around it by using correct spacing and then putting a SuppressMessage attribute above it.

[SuppressMessage("StyleCop", "SA1008", Justification = "StyleCop doesn't understand C#7 tuple return types yet.")]

VS 2017 suggests #pragma warning default SA1008 and #pragma warning restore SA1008 directives before and after the offending line. But I prefer SuppressMessage because it only takes a single line, and it contains the justification for why it’s there (i.e., letting me know it’s a temporary workaround). Once StyleCop.Analyzers is updated, I can search for and remove these SuppressMessage usages easily.
