Formatting F# Code
summary
Fantomas reformats F# by turning source into FSharp.Compiler.Service AST plus tokenizer trivia, producing writer events and a new string; it supports merging up to eight combinations of ASTs for different #defines and preserves comments via token-to-trivia mapping. The project ships as a NuGet DLL and CLI, integrates into Rider through the ReSharper backend, provides an online issue repro tool, and can generate code by emitting formatted ASTs. Version 4 adds configurable style options (example: multi-line block brackets on same column) and commercial sponsorship funds one day/week of maintenance.
