Hi all!  I recently started checking out BBEdit as an alternative
development platform to Eclipse and TextMate, and so far I like it a
lot.  But there's one thing I'm really missing: syntax aware ("smart")
auto-indent.

When a PHP programmer types an open curly bracket (or a Python
programmer types a colon) then presses Return, the expectation is that
the cursor will appear indented one tab further to the right than the
above line.  However, BBEdit's auto-indent brings the cursor to the
same level as the previous line, regardless of the contents of the
above line.  This requires an additional TAB press to bring the code
into the proper indentation level when starting a deeper block.

Is there any way, via an addon to BBEdit, or other such device, to
make auto-indent more syntax aware?
