Description
I tried to follow the discussion around empty lines after a block open from issue #3551. From what I gathered from the different issues linked to this, is that Black won't go back to allowing the empty line at block open, but loosening this rule a bit might be beneficial for some users. This PR enables empty lines after a block open for comments (# comments or """comments""") and compound statements, as suggested by @JelleZijlstra. I understand that this is a complicated topic and this change might not be accepted in the end, but just wanted to put this out there, as it seemed like a low-hanging fruit.
