Description

StyLua is easy to install, well-maintained, and seems to be a very popular Lua formatter in general.

I have a bare-bones Neovim LSP setup- and am having some very basic issues with the default lua-language-server's formatter-- it won't seem to respect any single-quote or double-quote preferences, for example. See related issues below.

It's easy enough to configure StyLua as a formatter manually-- but should we consider using StyLua as our default formatter?
