A lot of tools are fucking up the parentheses and apostrophes. Unnecessarily add...

It's just not a big issue today if you know what you're doing or not, as everyone now seems to care about "consistency" only.

My personal pet peeve is python's formatter named "black" (mentioned in TLA) that converts this:

     important_numbers = {
        "x": 3,
        "y": 42, # Answer to the Ultimate Question!
        "z": 2
    }

into this:

    important_numbers = {"x": 3, "y": 42, "z": 2}  # Answer to the Ultimate Question!

I imagine if you add a comma to the end of the `"z": 2` line, Black will not try and push the dict onto a single line.
