kgryte · kgryte · commit 96c2030f85be · 2016-12-23T00:26:45.000-08:00
While inserting a newline before a comment is preferred in many
cases, this is not always the case. Here, we disable to allow some
discretion in determining what makes the most sense in terms of
readability, clarity, and terseness.
