Description

I've been playing around with Rely and stumbled upon this weird formatting behavior while writing tests:

    expect.option(
      Some("a very very very very very very very very very very long line"),
    ).
      toBeSome();

I believe it will be more readable to format it as follows:

    expect.option(
      Some("a very very very very very very very very very very long line"),
    ).toBeSome();

Research direction

Start by reproducing the formatting with refmt using the Reason snippet in the issue, then trace the formatter logic for record-member access after a function call. Done means the same input formats with .toBeSome() on the preceding line as shown in the expected output.
