Add a way to make the formatter fail-fast #28

Closed lucaswerkmeister closed 10 years ago

There should be some way to make the formatter fail-fast: handleException should then rethrow the exception and thus end the formatting immediately. This would be especially useful for testing (for example, the test for #27 currently “succeeds” even if it fails – the difference is only that in one case a stacktrace is printed and in the other case not) and development in general.

I’m not sure if this needs to be a regular option or a parameter of FormattingVisitor. I’m leaning towards the latter, since it doesn’t influence how the code looks, and it’s mostly for internal use.

OTOH, there probably should be a command-line option for it, and regular options get command-line options for free...
