What i find frustrating is that you can format with ktlint, change the formatting manually, then run ktlint again, and it will accept both formattings. To leave no room for discussion/uneccesary changes in PRs such a feature would be really good.

03/09/2023, 8:06 PM@Mkohm could you file an issue on github? that sounds surprising but given the interaction between different rules it's possible that happens
