rustfmt), and even larger benefits by using a community-consistent formatting,
typically by using a formatting tool's default settings.

## The default Rust style

The Rust Style Guide defines the default Rust style, and *recommends* that
developers and tools follow the default Rust style. Tools such as `rustfmt` use
the style guide as a reference for the default style. Everything in this style
guide, whether or not it uses language such as "must" or the imperative mood
such as "insert a space ..." or "break the line after ...", refers to the
default style.

non-default style, or forbidding tools from adding any particular configuration
options.
