John Yeung:

Well, my thought would be not to change the number of settings at all,
and simply make statement.indent.filepattern always match only the last
nonwhitespace, noncomment character when a character is specified for
that option (as opposed to when a keyword or keywords are specified).

  Then you need a setting to say which styles are considered
whitespace and comment as there is currently no strong concept of
these in Scintilla or SciTE.

In case anyone is interested, I went ahead and implemented (just for
myself) my off-the-cuff proposal from before, of explicitly choosing to
only match at EOL by using a special character in the properties file.
I picked the asterisk, which may or may not be a stupid choice,

  Using a flag character is equivalent to adding another setting but
is not as self-documenting.

I would be happy to share my code (modified from the production 1.71
release) with anyone who wants it.  It's only a small change, and
perhaps a somewhat kludgy one at that, so I don't know if it's worth
submitting to the project.

  If you post a diff to this list or to the tracker then people
interested in the feature can use that as a basis. I don't think I'll
accept it as described.
