- There has been much discussion on the ML and several actual
prototypes of improved indentation/alignment schemes that are flexible enough to address many languages (even just many C style languages is a hard problem). None of them have been sufficiently correct, enough of the time, to overcome the problems of being really annoying when they are incorrect. Therefore anything would have to be a plugin so that it can simply not be loaded if the user didn't want it. Also it would need to only operate when the correct language was being edited.
Bah, this "everything must be a plugin" really annoys me. Indentation is really a core feature, whether smart or not, and is nowhere extra functionality provided by external code and authors.
g-p has also shown that finding motivated plugin authors that maintain their stuff beyond the initial code drop is hard, so we should really not rely too much on plugins.
What's wrong with you accepting new code in the core?
Best regards.
