I am definitely open for native EditorConfig support, but with 2.0 now 
“final”, I’m expecting some refactoring with one of the goals 
being to have more of the C++ interfaces moved to Objective-C classes 
and “inline” the load/save process (it’s currently way to 
complicated), so if the plug-in currently works, I’d not recommend 
investing too much time on a PR based on the current code base, as at 
least I don’t see an obvious place where these features should be 
added to the current code, but I’ll keep them in mind when I get 
around to refactoring.
