While it's not a style I have seen often in Elixir code, though I've seen
it elsewhere, I've found myself coding in a particular style that, for me
at least, increases the readability of my code and I'd love to see an
option in the formatter to allow for it.
Essentially it all boils down to some extra spaces around characters such
as brackets and parens.
Take, for example, this piece of code:
%{foo: "bar"}
In my example it would look like:
%{ foo: "bar" }
For method calls this code:
List.insert_at([], 2, 0)
Would become:
List.insert_at( [], 2, 0 )
And a populated list:
[:a, :b, :c]
Would become:
[ :a, :b, :c ]
While these are simple examples, for denser code I find the style to be a
lot easier on the eyes and quicker to read. I can't think of, though there
might be, situations in which this would cause ambiguity issues for the
formatter so it seems like a low risk addition.
Is this something that is a possibility? I'm willing to contribute if there
aren't any objections to the concept.
