I hadn't seen this before, but I tried it out, and the parts I'm interested
in are nice. The indenting is less flaky than what I was using before
(comments had issues).
If you're rewriting things, though, it'd be nice to be able to customize
indentation a little more. For instance, I like laying out ifs like:
if foo
then bar
else baz
But I like to lay out wheres as:
foo = ...
where
bar = ...
But both the indents here are based on shiftwidth, so they're tied together.
Another 'nice to have' would be some intelligent outdenting. For instance,
if you type a let block right now:
let foo = zig
bar = zag
in ...
That's what you'll get. It'd be nice if typing the 'in' snapped back to the
let. I know it's possible to implement something like this, because the
scala indentation mode I use frequently outdents when I type '=>' (which
annoys the hell out of me, because it's almost never correct), but I don't
know if it can be done intelligently enough to be useful (which would be
important). Something to keep in mind, though.
