Just to chime in here, I know vim supports modelines that determine the |
| 11 |
behavior for a specific file (eg, "vim: tw=78:" or soemthing like that to |
| 12 |
set the text width of that file to 78), and IIRC Emacs supports similar |
| 13 |
modelines.....is this an option at all? You would have to provide a |
| 14 |
template file for people to use for contributed ebuilds....or you could |
| 15 |
have a lil script that would add the lines when they were not |
| 16 |
present....but, I thought I'd mention it in case nobody considered it. |
