IDE Script Editor question...

[Richard Gaskin]

If memory serves, I believe indenting is handled in the IDE similarly to 
colorization, with a call to _internal.

Perhaps if used in conjunction with the info provided in 
revAvailableHandlers, we may be able to format large scripts even 
faster, maybe even in the blink of an eye.
