#### Language Server for systemd unit files

Enforce a stricter format than gofmt, while being backwards compatible.
That is, gofumpt is happy with a subset of the formats that gofmt is happy with.

The tool is a fork of gofmt as of Go 1.25.0, and requires Go 1.24 or later. It can
be used as a drop-in replacement to format your Go code, and running gofmt after
gofumpt should produce no changes.
