As I said, please add a feature request, so far simply no one thought 
about it, and no one has asked.

As for right now: I believe you can get that done by using jedi code 
formater (tools menu / environment options)
(the feature request will likely end up with me, and I have several 
other thinks to do before I can look at it)
