Elastic Tabstops - great feature

[Aradayn]

This guy's got a solution to the eternal war between tabs and spaces that I think is very elegant:

You can even try it out on the page. Having this feature in Code::Blocks would be great.

I've read about it, but the C::B devs could do nothing about it, because C::B uses wxScintilla for the editors.
Probably you could show this to the Scintilla devs and if they say they can implement it.
C::B will get it almost for free....

I just found this thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/scintilla-interest/browse_thread/thread/44fca717735f860e
As far as I can sse, there is not much interest of scintilla developpers to implement it.

Hello, can we finally have this cool feature since scintilla has it?

It is already in scintilla 3.5.0

So, C::B' scintilla should have this feature too, not sure we use it or not

Cool, but this isn't something that is on-off thing.
Scintilla has just the building blocks for such implementation, but someone needs to spend time implementing it...
Patches welcome as always, but make sure to test them with at least a 1000 line files.
