In 2007 Matthew Winn published a patch against vim 7.1.135 for non-uniform tabstops (i.e. setting tabstops at user-defined columns) [1]. It was voted on in 2008 [2] but never made its way into vim (?).
This feature is very important for editing Fortran and is sorely missed. I believe it was #10 on the list of unofficial patches [3] but this page has been taken down. I'm trying to figure out 1) Where can the most recent version of the patch be found? 2) Has there been any recent interest in this feature? 3) Was there a particular reason this patch never made its way into vim?
