Description

It would be nice if there was a configuration setting to use blocks in the fill match arm assist to avoid having to needlessly delete todo! and the comma and add curly braces in each match arm when I want to use more complex code.

Maybe it would even make sense to implement this as two different code actions so one could easily choose which variant would make sense for this particular bit of code.

Done means users can choose or configure block-style arms without manually removing todo!, the comma, and adding braces.
