It does, but I think that it will be better to have theses "Templates"
as the Win editors UltraEdit or ConTEXT for example. I mean, it would
be cool if one could type "classd", hitting some shortcut, and get that
"classd" replaced by a full class declaration (just an example, could
be anything, like "case" + CMD-space to get a "fill in the blanks"
switch/case skeleton).

There are other options that could fit better in this "style guides"
category than being globals or per-language. For example: "end file
with a new line" and Auto-indent (that's a feature request :-).
Regarding auto-indent, it is both language and style specific, same as
the use of hard/soft tabs. For example, I would like to type (in
Pascal) "begin", hitting enter, and get the cursor 2 space to the right
of the "b", while other pascal coders will prefer to start at 5 spaces
in this case.
Later,
Oscar.
