What line and column does the error message report?

[alexander-akait]

@nzakas

'use strict';

function example() {
    var anonymous = function () {
        console.log('anonymous function expression');
    }; // On this line
}

example();

[gyandeeps]

This sounds more like an enhancement?
CC @eslint/eslint-team

[ilyavolodin]

Agree. That's an enhancement. I think it makes sense to add.

[nzakas]

What would the option be called?

[ilyavolodin]

I'm not sure this should be an option. I think it should just be an enhancement to an existing functionality.

[IanVS]

Unless there is a reason someone would want a blank line like this, and I can't imagine why anyone would, I think it would be best to avoid adding an option and just make it default behavior.

[alberto]

I'll give it a try

[ilyavolodin]

@nzakas Are you ok with enabling this without an option?

[nzakas]

Fine by me
