John, Excellent! I always thought that something like this should be the solution--and should be a standard part of python mode (and of other language-specific modes)--but not being an emacs user, I did not know how to do it. I assume there is also some sort of C and/or C++ mode, and similar hook additions are needed for them--correct? Or is there a hierarchy of modes, in which case a single hook could go at a higher level?
