Description
As you can see from this diff, inline-attributes are viable and sometimes even useful (specifically: making diffs align properly, which has been an issue in Rand's lib.rs quite a few times).
-#[cfg(feature="alloc")] use core::slice;
+#[cfg(feature = "alloc")]
+use core::slice;
rustfmt is forcing multi-line attributes everywhere. I would like an option for inline attributes (when small).

Research direction
No file or test entry point is named. Start by reproducing the shown rustfmt diff and tracing how inline attributes are formatted; clarify what “small” means and how the option should interact with existing multiline formatting. Done means a documented option produces the requested inline form when applicable, with focused coverage for the example.
