Description
Option to insert a line break after separators in PowerShell code formatting:
I am suggesting an option for the PowerShell code formatter that allows to insert line breaks after each separator. For example, the following code:
$foo=9;$bar=10;
currently becomes formatted as follows with the default settings:
$foo = 9; $bar = 10;
Enabling line breaks after separators should produce the following result instead:
$foo = 9;
$bar = 10;
