Description

If the language is TSQL, it is frequent that GO will be used instead of ;, especially in stored procedures, so it would be nice to have the option to set line splitters (maybe call them something better?) other then just ;, possible even comments could be, but for now this would be really nice in formatting the SQL to be prettier

Research direction

Start by tracing how the formatter handles line splitting for TSQL and how stored procedures are parsed. Check the existing formatting behavior for queries containing GO, then verify that treating GO as a statement separator produces prettier stored-procedure output without changing other languages.
