The last I proposed it, it was shot down, because the settings would have to
be in every source file, since vim won't load another file from a modeline
(for security reasons). The concern was that if the coding style changed, it
would require a change to every source file in the repos.
At this point, can we decide that the coding style is not likely to change
very much, and add the modelines. (I'll supply a patch if no one dissents).
