For Scheme (or perhaps Scheme-ish languages), it would be nice to be 
able to associate formatting rules with special syntax definitions.

For example, in the module in which I define the "with-foo" syntax, I 
also define the formatting of that syntax.  When editing a use of 
"with-foo" in a file, DrScheme will go look in the imported module and 
then know to indent the use like "begin0".

Perhaps these formatting rules would be part of the embedded documentation.
