Indentation auto-detection
@astavale
Submitted by Al Thomas Link to original bug (#707237)
Description
Tabs are nice because they allow indentation and de-indentation with a single key press without configuring the text editor being used at the time. There are, however, times when people want to use different forms of indentation. This is currently handled manually with [indent=x]. This proposal is to make the Genie parser automatically detect the indentation by using the first type of indentation it comes across, e.g. tab or two spaces, but have this over-ridden by [indent=x] to maintain backwards compatibility. Software tools can then be used to change indentation type as necessary without having to manually change the indent value.
