Which can hardly be automized for any real class, having methods with 
argument lists, properties etc.

I don't want to change my coding style for the sake of using a "clever" 
tool, that may fail with every other source file. Picking only nice 
results doesn't help with all the ugly cases.

Automatic indentation is okay, because it's reversible. But tables with 
columns are something for text processing systems with a specialized 
layout mechanism, not for simple source editors and shared source code. 
I'd rather prefer to hide comments and begin/end pairs on demand, in 
addition to foldable blocks, so that I can see only the essential source 
code when required.
