[TxMt] Re: Automagically figuring out tab size?

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? [...]

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.

There could be support for an external indent (e.g. http://www.gnu.org/software/indent/indent.html) and some "Re-indent" command setting (makes sense for C bundle at least). Just as idea.
