As a feature request, rules_closure could consider using buildifier to format internal BUILD files.

I've already been using buildifier this whole time. It's integrated into emacs and eclipse internally at Google.

The question is: how do we enforce it in CI? Hey @damienmg there's no such thing as METADATA presubmits in the Bazel world. We obviously don't want to have a rule in every single one of our dozens of BUILD files to make them validate themselves. What do we do?

The closest thing to our METADATA presubmit hooks would probably be the Git precommit hook.

We will add this a test job to ci.bazel.io.
