Option for column limit about xamlstyler HOT 5 CLOSED

While column break rules work for most languages, we do no believe they make a lot of sense for markup languages like XAML and believe there are already a number of options to help break out attributes on newlines in a way that works well.

I just realized the only way to get attributes to wrap is if they exceed the attribute tolerance number. I don't care how many attributes are on a single line, I just care how long that line is before it triggers wrapping each attribute onto its own line.

5 short attributes might be fine, 2 long ones might be too many.

See #122 for consideration of respecting VS Tag Wrapping settings as a potential default.

I really think this should be reconsidered for addition. Just like code should wrap things like method parameters if it extends beyond a certain column, attributes should start to wrap at the same column width. The only thing that makes sense for me is wrapping at a total character width including indentation, not excluding it. If it fits inside my VS window width then it doesn't need to wrap, otherwise it does.

I counted no less than 5 other issues asking for the same, so this seems like a popular request. It would obviously be an optional setting, so I don't see the harm in adding it for people who want it. It seems like a relatively trivial addition.

Upvote for this. I agree first line attributes should be split even if below the tolerance if they exceed a certain length. While a hard-column limit might not be desiderable, first line attributes without indentation and tag could still obey the maximum characters rule.
