Hi Manos,

Thanks for your example!

About the Rust style, inspired from the discussion on my previous
simpletrace-rust [1], it looks like people prefer the default rust style
and use the default check without custom configurations.

More style requirements are also an open, especially for unstable ones,
and it would be better to split this part into a separate patch, so that
the discussion about style doesn't overshadow the focus on your example.
