Allow generating where clauses for complex type constraints

[metarag]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Kotlin supports where clauses which can make complex type-constraints more readable. For example,

class GenericPerson<Self, Builder> where
Self : GenericPerson<Self, Builder>,
Builder: GenericPersonBuilder<Builder, Self>

class GenericPersonBuilder<Self, Built> where
Self : GenericPersonBuilder<Self, Built>,
Built : GenericPerson<Built, Self>

Describe the solution you'd like It would be nice if KotlinPoet allowed generating APIs like that. I'm not sure what the best way to go about this is.

Perhaps, TypeSpec.classBuilder("...").useWhereClauseForTypeConstraints(true).build()?

Describe alternatives you've considered I'm just using the existing APIs to declare the type constraints inline for now.

In general we are opposed to functionality which lets the user change the formatting of the output. I would be much more supportive of a simple rule that applies globally. We do similar things for when to wrap function parameters onto multiple lines, for example.

[metarag]

Fair enough. How about a rule like this?

Use the where clause if the type variables + bounds take up more than 80 chars && there’s at least a 50% reduction in length for the type variables declaration when the bounds are removed.

[JakeWharton]

I was thinking:

• Has any type parameters with more than one bound, or
• Has two+ type parameters any of which has a bound

[metarag]

Yep. That looks better :)
