I mean leaving them on an extra line.  The current style tool mostly
errs when contracting multiple lines, which imho should not be its
task.

The problem that is solved here, is that people sometimes (particularly
in the uri field of the source) make these contractions for style
reasons.  Guix style, having been taught that, tries to extrapolate
this to all fields.
