Description
(tried with cabal installed from master branch)
`cabal init` generates .cabal file with very long lines for fields like `other-extensions`, `exposed-modules` and `build-depends`. Fixing this by hand is tedious. Cabal format helps, but that's hard to discover (#2460). Ideally I think cabal should format the file before automatically.
