What Type of Bug are you experiencing?

Verse

Summary

Verse has a where clause which helps to define parametric types or constraints. However in some code styles there are limits such as a max character width per line. In such situations the code must be properly line wrapped and formatted.

The current verse build (v26.00 Fortnite) does not allow to wrap the where keyword, nor its first element to the next line.

Steps to Reproduce

(Input: [key]value).Func(
  Key: key,
  Value: value where key: subtype(comparable), # compiler enforces no line wrapping
  value: type # second where clause element wrapped 
): void = {}

Expected Result

(Input: [key]value).Func(
  Key: key,
  Value: value 
  where # where keyword on the next line
  key: subtype(comparable), # first where clause element wrapped
  value: type # second where clause element wrapped
): void = {}

Observed Result

Compile time error: Expected expression or ), got where in parenthesized parameter list
