isn't it possible to just test using a simple regexp on the first, say, 60
lines, to find a line matching something like this:

\[.*?\]\S\(.*?\)(\S$|\{.*?\}$)

where \S stands for whitespace (dont know much about vi). It matches a []
() pair and a [] () {} trio.

IMHO it is not elegant to require a special formatted comment line to
enable autodetection.
