Description
I just spent an hour trying to figure out why my suppressed rule in script is not working only to notice a trailing space at the end of the rule name.
[Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessageAttribute('PSUseShouldProcessForStateChangingFunctions ', '',Justification = "Does not change any states")]
If Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer can validate that all suppressed rule names are valid that would save some troubleshooting time.

Research direction
Start with Invoke-ScriptAnalyzer handling of SuppressMessageAttribute and trace how suppressed rule names are processed. Confirm how the analyzer reports invalid names, then add coverage for the trailing-space example so the invalid suppression is surfaced.
