Research direction
The issue names the proposed reorder_impl_blocks configuration option and shows the desired ordering of inherent and trait impl blocks. Start by tracing rustfmt's configuration handling and formatting entry points for impl blocks; the issue names no files or tests. Done means the option enforces the demonstrated ordering without changing behavior when it is disabled.
