Rumdl already appears to have _significantly_ fewer bugs than prettier, and a solid LSP for editor integration. The tool is: https://github.com/rvben/rumdl/ I've separated out the change across three commits for easier review. The configuration tries to match the existing formatting, the changes to the all the files are to correct issues found by the new tool.

Lexical conventions
Table of contents
Lexical elements
The first stage of processing a source file is the division of the source file into lexical elements.
A lexical element is one of the following:
-
a maximal sequence of whitespace characters
-
a word
-
a literal:
-
a comment
The sequence of lexical elements is formed by repeatedly removing the longest initial sequence of characters that forms a valid lexical element, with the following exception:
- When a numeric literal immediately follows a
.or->token, with no intervening whitespace, a real literal is never formed. Instead, the token will end no later than the next.character. For example,tuple.1.2is five tokens,tuple.1.2, not three tokens,tuple.1.2. However,tuple . 1.2is lexed as three tokens.
