Attributes with arguments lead to false positives

Describe the bug

lines like @Persisted(primaryKey: true) var id: Int are marked with Attributes Violation: Attributes should be on their own lines in functions and types, but on the same line as variables and imports (attributes), but lines like @Persisted var reelId: Int are (correctly) recognised as fine

// This triggers a violation:
@Persisted(primaryKey: true) var id: Int

The current implementation is like, when an attribute has arguments it should be on a separate line. You can configure that with the option always_on_same_line, however.

[sdc-78]

This is a breaking change from 0.50.3.
Also, it is incompatible with SwiftFormat which does not allow to depend on whether the attribute has arguments or not.

[SimplyDanny]

Not really. It has always been intended like that. However, the rule contained a bug that prevented custom (not built in) attributes to be ignored. @Persisted is such an attribute that is now recognized as well.

[geertbleyen]

In first instance maybe better then to update the message given, indicating that this is expected behavior for attributes with arguments.
Later, it would be nice if this behavior can be configured via the .swiftlint.yml config file

These main concepts in SwiftUI apps are flagging too. Seems like this will have to be a rule I temporary turn off until customization is allowed in detail.

• @UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor(ApplicationDelegate.self) var applicationDelegate: ApplicationDelegate
• @SceneStorage("selectedTabView") var selectedTabView: String?
• @fetchrequest(....) & @SectionedFetchRequest

  @FetchRequest(
      entity: EntityType.entity(),
      sortDescriptors: [
          NSSortDescriptor(keyPath: \EntityType.name, ascending: true)
      ],
      predicate: .truePredicate(),
      animation: nil
  ) var entities: FetchedResults<EntityType>

[SimplyDanny]

#4855 adds a new option attributes_with_arguments_always_on_line_above (true by default) which can be set to false to allow attributes with arguments on the same line like the variable declaration.

Besides that, the existing options always_on_same_line and always_on_line_above remain usable for more fine grained configuration of specific attributes.

@edorphy: The rule considers your attribute to be on the same line with the variable declaration because the closing parenthesis is. With the new option set to false it wouldn't violate anymore. Another option is to write it like

@FetchRequest(
      // ...
)
var entities: FetchedResults<EntityType>

if your style guide allows.

Are people happy with this new option? Opinions?
