Description

📋 Description

Current formatter inserts a space between nested tuple access, as introduced in #1609. As of Rust 1.46.0, we do no longer need such spaces (or parenthesis) for such syntax, thanks to rust-lang/rust#71322. Therefore, we want an option not to insert a space between nested tuple access.
