I'm annoyed that there's no multi-editor type-marking that's actually
used by all the mainstream editors.  -*- python-mode -*- (or whatever it
is), vs: vim: set filetype=python : , etc.

If I'm wrong, please help me minimise the hate and let me start setting
file type, tab settings etc in one place, out of the way at the bottom
of the file, in a way which won't break just because someone uses a
different format.

Please elucidate; how does this differ from undolists?  help
undo-branches or undo-tree ..
