Description
This is due the default output fromclojure.pprint/pprint when a vector grows long. It will then put each element on their own line. This looks especially stupid with libspec vectors:
[a.pretty.long.ns.gets.its.own.line.like.it.should:as but-then-the-alias-comes-way-down-here]A better formatting would be:
[a.pretty.long.ns.gets.its.own.line.like.it.should:as the-alias-comes-on-this-line-instead]I want to give:refer the same treatment.
[a.pretty.long.ns.gets.its.own.line.like.it.should:refer [this that]becomes:
[a.pretty.long.ns.gets.its.own.line.like.it.should:refer [this that]This will, however, cause a bit of a regression if you have a ton of referred symbols:
(require '[a.pretty.long.ns.gets.its.own.line.like.it.should:refer [this that the other more moar andfinally the problem on comes on line-wrap]])
becomes:
(require '[a.pretty.long.ns.gets.its.own.line.like.it.should:refer [this that the other more moar andfinally the problem on comes on line-wrap]])
I think these both look super bad. This behavior will privilege short:refer clauses, but I think that's fine. Having tons of referred symbols is an anti-pattern anyway, so we should nudge people toward not doing that.
If someone does this consistently we can always take another PR improving this edge-case further.
