Rustfmt: Support vertical alignment

[wuranbo]

Could the rustfmt support vertically align as default? At least it can be configured not to break the vertically aligned code when try to format codes include them.

Many people love it.

And another support is the gofmt use vertical alignment https://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html#formatting .

There is an ongoing effort to find out which style is preferred across the community. Maybe you should try your luck here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1607

AFAIK rustfmt will stick to the style agreed on in the RFC.

Thank you @duesee , I already did it. And I saw the RFC, it is targeting to get 'the decision process for the coding style', and it also said at last we will get the recommended style, and rustfmt will impl it as default style, leave others configurable. So whether the vertically align is choiced to be the recommended style, it can be implemented in rustfmt as a configuration.

Are there any updates?

Are there any updates?

No, sorry. I would take a PR for this if there was a fairly complete implementation, but I don't have time to work on it myself and there is a lot of higher priority work (better support for the default options, basically) to point people at.

I guess there is still no update on this.

Is this still true?

If yes, I would like to at least try to implement this feature, I really miss it :upside_down_face:
