Ah, this has reminded me: I forgot to mention, but perhaps it would be
possible (for someone) to write a plugin which pipes your code through
something such as Uncrustify, which is a modern version of the classic
Unix utility ‘cb’. You would still need to hit a button to beautify your
code (rather like the XML PrettyPrinter plugin) but at least it might be
one way of having configurable indentation without costly on-the-fly
parsing.
I’d have a go at this myself, but for the fact that I’m a CS graduate
student (learning all that new stuff is great but why do they have to
give you piles of coursework as well? :P)
I wrote and use such a plugin for C/C++/Obj-c using Clang-Format. I
actually use it "real-time" just always keeping my code perfectly
formatted (triggers on a set of configurable chars like closing braces
and semicolons and such), but auto/realtime formatting isn't on by
default and you can choose to format a selection, document, or all open
documents rather than having it in "real-time"/automatic mode.
It's here:

And a boring demo video is here:

I think Colomban also started working on a more general purpose version
of something like this using GNU Indent, Astyle or Uncrustify (or one of
those), but I'm not sure how far it got.
Cheers,
Matthew Brush
