Description

When I have nested objects with objects and arrays it should indent like from the rules which is working, if you always create a new line inside of an object or inside of an array.

But if you opening an array and adding the opening curly bracket right after your array bracket "[{" w/o adding new line, it will break the formatting, for the next new line.

Right:

var test = {
    foo: [
        {
            bar: 2
        }
    ]
};

Wrong:

var test2 = {
    foo: [{
            bar: 3
        }],
    bar: [{a: {
                bar: 3
            }}]
};

var test3 = {
    foo: {test: {
            tt: 3
        }}
};

Of course the argument is, ok do it like the first one, but no, I want an object inside of an array starting right after the opening array because it looks nicer.

Expected formatting:

var test = {
    foo: [{
        bar: 3
    }],
    bar: [{
        a: {
            bar: 3
        }
    }]
};

var test3 = {
    foo: {
        test: {
            tt: 3
        }
    }
};
