Formatting option to insert newline after file scoped namespace declarations

[vsfeedback]

This issue has been moved from a ticket on Developer Community.

Currently, the default formatter for C# does not care whether you have a newline after a file scoped namespace or not.

// This:

namespace OL. PharmaPos.Modules.ProductsCatalog.Domain.Products;
using FluentResults;

public readonly record struct ProductId
{
}

// ... as well as this:

namespace OL. PharmaPos.Modules.ProductsCatalog.Domain.Products;

using FluentResults;

public readonly record struct ProductId
{
}

// ... are perfectly accepted by VS 2022, currently.

I would like to have the option to make the first variant illegal or be automatically formatted on document format (Ctrl+K, Ctrl+D) to look like the second variant. Basically this inserts a new line after a file scoped namespace declaration.

I don't think we need an option here, since we could simply update the formatter to always apply the blank line.

Is it going to be implemented?
