Oops; that won't include the spaces after a puctuation; [bracket] sequence.  It 
should be:

"([\.?!])(([]'")}>])( ( +))|( ( +)))"

It finds all instances of two spaces or more after punctuation; [bracket] 
sequence; you'd only have to remove spaces if the character just after the end 
of the matched string was a space.

(It needs to be changed to account for spacing characters in general, i. e. 
spaces and tabs instead of just spaces; I'll get to that.)
