Maybe a special submodule like drracket-indentation with declarations like:
(module+ drracket-indentation
(like-lambda my-lambda my-function ....)
(like-begin my-begin ....)
)
could be useful for user-specific indentation.
As a submodule, Racket can read&load it only at appropriate moments.
When indenting the file, DrRacket could first load the
drracket-indentation module of the file to know how to indent it.
One could then create a whole language with its own indentation rules.
It would also be easier to add good indentations for for/fold and others.
That would be awesome for Typed Racket macros in particular. Its `for'
macros are great examples of forms that should have fairly complex
indentation rules. Optional type declarations make it difficult to
classify them as "begin-like", "define-like" or "lambda-like".
