request for future release / auto-indent

during the time gap between 69 and 85, i fell away from p5 and started to play around with flash, as well as java. One thing i miss from all the IDE i used for both actionscript and java is the auto-indent feature. basically what it did was after any left curly bracket ("{") it would automatically indent when the enter key was pressed. And after a block of code, when you typed a right curly bracket ("}") to close it it would automatically un-indent that line. The result in my opinion made code neater because people didn't have to ident themselves, so code ussualy was indented correctly and was more readable.

Also on a side note of cool ide features, i liked hinting for built in functions, and (in some more advanced IDEs) hinting at user defined functions. Now i know that this features would probaly be something for the 1.0 release (will it be 1.0 or 100? or will beta go past 100?) but id just like to put my vote in for it know, so it might be included all the sooner.
