Maybe Lazarus can one day support editor style hints inside comments.
Some editors support this already like: vi, vim, jEdit etc..
The first comment inside each source file defines the indentation
style used. The editor then adjust for that style for that file only.

A nice bonus with Elastic Tabstops is that you can uses proportional
fonts too (often prettier than mono fonts) - yet indentation is still
perfectly aligned.

Um, I should maybe give this another try and some point.
