Description
I'd like an option for rustfmt to never delete existing line breaks.
Sounds like I'm not the only one who wants this functionality. I think having this option would eliminate a lot of #[rustfmt::skip] usecases.

Start by examining rustfmt's handling of existing line breaks and the current #[rustfmt::skip] behavior. The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; done would require a defined option, documented behavior, and tests showing that existing breaks are preserved.
