Description
Repro:
module type Screen = (Config: {type transition;}) => {
type state;
let run: (state, env) => Config.transition;
}
This formats to:
module type Screen =
(Config: {type transition;}) => {type state; let run: (state, env) => Config.transition;};
In this particular case I think the former's more desirable. Though I don't know how well that generalizes
