The actual rules are less important, only the consistency of applying them is.

I find that people who argue against automatic linting and formatting tend to be the same that would argue incessantly about style. So much wasted energy, I want none of that.

Also, in your example above, if you put the comment on the line _above_ instead of inline the formatter will most likely do the right thing.

"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines."

-- Ralph Waldo Emerson
