I don't know how this fits with other people's coding styles, but mostly 
I want smart typing when writing new stuff, and not so much going back 
editing old.

For example, if I want to go back and add an extra pair of submatch 
brackets into a regexp, I don't want smart typing coz it gets in the way.

So how about adding in the metric of end-of-line vs middle-of-line?


Unformed idea. blah.
