style-guide: Avoid using "should" or "may" for required parts of the default style
The style guide inconsistently used language like "there should be a
space" or "it should be on its own line", or "may be written on a single
line", for things that are required components of the default Rust
style. "should" and especially "may" come across as optional. While the
style guide overall now has a statement at the top that the default
style itself is a *recommendation*, the *definition* of the default
style should not be ambiguous about what's part of the default style.
Rewrite language in the style guide to only use "should" and "may" and
similar for truly optional components of the style (e.g. things a tool
cannot or should not enforce in its default configuration).
In their place, either use "must", or rewrite in imperative style ("put
a space", "start it on the same line"). The latter also substantially
reduces the use of passive voice.
This is a purely editorial change, and does not affect the semantic
definition of the Rust style.

brackets, contents of the array should be separated by commas and spaces. If
|
||||
using the repeating initialiser, there should be a space after the semicolon
|
||||
only. Apply the same rules if using the `vec!` or similar macros (always use
|
||||
square brackets here). Examples:
|
||||
Write small array literals on a single line. Do not put spaces between the opening
|
||||
square bracket and the first element, or between the last element and the closing
|
||||
square bracket. Separate elements with a comma followed by a space.

If using the repeating initializer, put a space after the semicolon

|
||||
let a = [42; 10];

||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If a line must be broken, prefer breaking only after the `;`, if possible.
|
||||
Otherwise, follow the rules below for function calls. In any case, the contents
|
||||
of the initialiser should be block indented and there should be line breaks
|
||||
after the opening bracket and before the closing bracket:

||||

|
||||
