8.0.0-beta-001

=, >, <, % and %% cannot start a line at the column of their left-hand side: there the parser reads =, > and < as the = of a binding, and reads % and %% inside a quotation as a splice. Fantomas already kept them off that column, but did so with the layout that keeps the right-hand side beside the operator whenever it is short enough to fit, which needs the page width and a column count to predict and moves a 0 around when an unrelated part of the line changes length. It now follows the rule proposed in fsharp/fslang-design#836: the expression fits on one line, or it does not and the operator stays with the left-hand side while the right-hand side moves one level in, or the left-hand side itself spans several lines, in which case the operator and the right-hand side each take a line of their own. fsharp_multiline_bracket_style = stroustrup still overrides this for a right-hand side that opens a bracket, which keeps hugging the operator. This is the first beta of 8.0.0: the style guide for this is not settled yet, so give it a try and report back on the design issue if something reads worse than what it replaces. #3434
