Research direction

Examine the TypeScript formatting service in src/services/formatting/. Look at how object literal spacing is handled (e.g., insertSpaceAfterOpeningAndBeforeClosingNonemptyBrackets). The feature requires adding a new option similar to existing ones. Check linked issue Microsoft/vscode#7795 for more context. Ensure the new option is exposed in the user facing settings.
