Re: compiling error

[Marin David Condic <nobody@noplace.com>]

I think I've seen a related problem, but I don't know if it is because 
of the pretty-printer being broke or something to do with the project 
files. When I've attempted to change the defaults for things like 
indentation, etc., it creates something in a file that can't be properly 
parsed & you have to remove it or it won't work. Do you know if this has 
to do with the 5.0 version issue you mentioned or is it strictly a 
pretty-printer thing?

I don't in general like to have editors try to "help" me while I'm 
typing. But any attempts to tailor the "help" to my personal preferences 
seem to cause the thing to go crazy. I imagine there will be some 
improvement on this over time, but its really annoying when something so 
integral to the everyday use doesn't work right. (I can deal with some 
sideline feature that is only occasionally used not working as intended, 
but when you're doing something common - like typing - its annoying not 
having that work well.)
