I don't know if I really understand how this would is do.

The rustfmt have a array_width parameter [1], but with this, all arrays in rust
code will have the formatting that we set. (In this case, is 1 per line).

If we set the max_width, for limit the width of line, it seens for me, that
arrays don't are affected.
