.editorconfig support about pokecrystal HOT 3 OPEN

Would this add anything, really? Line endings are normalized by Git, tab sizes are better left unconfigured (there are zero advantages to forcing a uniform tab size and it runs the risk of people starting to mix tabs and spaces, because some people really believe that tabs are four spaces), and the indentation style would be picked up trivially by any tool that simply preserves the previous line's indentation.

Personally I like .editorconfig even when it required plugins and I or my team didn't use them, because it defines in code "here is how we style things".

The amount of time I've lost to pointless tabs vs spaces arguments in Slack is astounding. Put it in .editorconfig, and no arguments can be had.

The point of this config is making that ever harder by preconfiguring editors with the right settings. I don't particularly care about setting a tab size, if we can at least set the indentation style to tabs instead of spaces.

I'm not aware of any editor that actually does this.
