Closures with complex arguments

[topecongiro]

In #35 the discussion was mainly about how we format the body of closures. Currently rustfmt uses visual indent when we need to use multiple lines for closure's arguments:

fn examples() {
    let commented = |// first
                     a, // argument
                     // second
                     b: WithType, // argument
                     // ignored
                     _| {
         (a, b)
     };

    let block_body = move |xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
                           ref yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy| {
        xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx + yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
    };

    let y = x.into_iter().map(
        |AaaaaaAaaaaaaaaaa {
             bbbbbb_bbbb,
             ccc_ccccccc,
         }| (),
    );
}

Since the default indent style in other places is block indent, I was wondering where rustfmt should use it in closure's arguments as well:

fn examples() {
    let y = x.into_iter().map(
        |
            AaaaaaAaaaaaaaaaa {
                bbbbbb_bbbb,
                ccc_ccccccc,
            },
        | (),
    );

    let commented = |
        // first
        a, // argument
        // second
        b: WithType, // argument
        // ignored
        _,
    | {
        (
            aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,
            bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb,
        )
    };

    let block_body = move |
        xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
        ref yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy,
    | {
        xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx + yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
    };
}

Any thoughts?

Figuring out how to format closures has been driving me slightly bonkers. And vim doesn't have any appreciation for visually indenting the arguments. Treating them as a fn item declaration may be the sanest approach, and would be consistent with the rest of Rust. It'd be nice if they just had a more compliant syntax, but that ship has already sailed, sunken off the coast of Costa Rica, and been salvaged as a source for metal free from the radioactive contamination of nuclear testing.

With my format team hat on: I do think we should use block style for closures. I also think we should treat the leading | and trailing | -> Type the same way we treat other grouping, so that we can put the | on the same line as the start of a function accepting the closure as an argument.

Would someone be up for writing a PR for the style guide?

The current style can have a disgusting result:

let read = move |mut conn: DbConn<'a>,
                 (post_id, my_person_id, is_mod_or_admin): (
  PostId,
  Option<PersonId>,
  Option<bool>,
)| async move {

I don't think that's consistent with the style guide, or at least I don't know what rule would produce that result.

This is due to a very long standing bug in rustfmt and as Josh noted, does not adhere to the style guide prescriptions for closures

This issue has been bugging me too. Anyone working on it?

I wonder if a separate option should be added (like imports_indent) or should indent_style be extended for closures too? The former might be preferable for backwards-compatibility.
