[TxMt] Automagically figuring out tab size?

[Graeme Mathieson]

Hi,

I don't suppose it would be possible for Textmate to make an attempt  
to 'guess' the tab size (and whether the file is using hard/soft  
tabs) when a file is opened?  I often wind up editing other people's  
code and, usually, they wind up using something other than 'soft  
tabs: 2'.  So I regularly have to fiddle with the tab size to make  
things match up nicely.

ISTR a previous editor I've used, WingIDE[1], having this feature,  
and it was really handy...  And no, that's not an 'every other editor  
does it' -- it's the only time I've seen that feature, but it was  
really useful!

Oh, even better!  I'm looking at the code for Typo just now, and it's  
not even consistent throughout the code!  In fact most of it is 'soft  
tabs: 2', just views/articles/taglist.rhtml (the first one I happened  
to want to edit) that's using hard tabs...
