Research direction

Start from the AutoFormatBuffer command and b:codefmt_formatter example in the issue, then inspect the existing formatter configuration and execution flow. Done means a buffer can configure multiple formatters and run them in the declared order, including the sortincludes then clang-format example.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

For some types of files you might want to run more than one formatter, for instance sort C++ includes (which clang-format doesn't handle) and then format with clang-format. Could codefmt support configuring a list of formatters instead of a single formatter? E.g.

AutoFormatBuffer sortincludes,clang-format
let b:codefmt_formatter = ['sortincludes', 'clang-format']
