Description

I want to skip the formatting of the argument list of a function, while allowing rustfmt to format the contents of the function. Using rustfmt_skip on the function currently disables formatting for the whole function.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how rustfmt_skip is handled for function definitions and inspect nearby formatting tests; done means the function argument list can remain unformatted while the function body is still formatted.
