autoref without space

Question

I want to reference sections in the form '§1'. I use hyperref.sty, and I have changed the sectionautorefname: renewcommand{sectionautorefname}{S}. This prints '§ 1', with a space. Can I remove the space?
documentclass{article}
usepackage{hyperref}
renewcommand{sectionautorefname}{S}
begin{document}
section{section}
label{section}
autoref{section}
end{document}

You could kern it to the left.
documentclass{article}
usepackage{hyperref}
renewcommand{sectionautorefname}{Skern-4pt}
begin{document}
section{section}
label{section}
autoref{section}
end{document}

Perhaps a better way is to gobble the space:
makeatletter
renewcommand{sectionautorefname}{S@gobble}
makeatother

though I don't know if this latter approach has any unintended pitfalls.
