Issue:
Don't split empty sets/arrays into multiple lines
I noticed a lot of sections like this:
```ron
                            vertical_blurs: [
                            ],
                            horizontal_blurs: [
                            ],
                            scalings: [
                            ],
                            blits: [
                            ],
                            outputs: [
                            ],
```

I think it would be strictly an improvement if we detect that a set/map/array is empty and avoid inserting a new line in this case.

Pull request description:
don't insert new lines in empty arrays or maps
This fixes #147
