Description
Not sure if this is possible, but i'd love a rule that enforces colon position for dictionaries, I like dictionaries to be defined as [Key : Value] with a space on either side of the colon, this rule could be for dictionary instances and also for dictionary type definitions (e.g [String : AnyObject]).

Research direction
The issue names no implementation file, entry point, or test. Start by locating existing SwiftLint rules and their tests for dictionary syntax and spacing, then compare how dictionary instances and type definitions are parsed. Done means a rule consistently enforces spaces on both sides of the colon in both forms.
