Description
Today, chained closure are formatted like this:
let closure = |a| {
|b| {
println!("{a}{b}");
}
};
I personally find it less readable than:
let closure = |a| |b| {
println!("{a}{b}");
};
Could it be an option for this formatting?

Research direction
Start by tracing how rustfmt formats chained closures and how formatter options are defined and tested. Compare the current and requested examples, then identify the existing configuration-test entry point for adding an option. Done means the option reliably selects the requested compact formatting without changing the default behavior.
