The thought has crossed my mind -- my main concern is with how to properly indicate to the user that he's not using his default setting -- I was thinking something along the lines of highlighting the tab size setting in the status bar.
I hesitate to suggest this, but how about modlines ala emacs or vim? /* vim:set ts=4 sw=4 nowrap: */
Does eliminate the guessing, anyway. Though some indicator that defaults have been overridden would still be useful. What other clue would textmate use anyway?
