Add a compiler flag to disable accidental code formatting

Add a compiler flag to relax or prevent the code from auto-formatting whenever a source file is imported and thus compiled, the reasoning for that is for preventing irrelevant changes from showing up in the source control such as: argument multi-line discrepancies and irregular insertions/deletions of blank lines. Basically changes that are not really productive.

Rather, let the developer decide how the source code should look like and have a separate optional formatter in charge of such impositions.
