bug#18732: [PATCH] whitespace-mode: add 'many-tabs style highlighting multiple TABs

[Michal Nazarewicz]

Add a 'many-tabs style to `whitespace-mode' designed to be used
in conjunction with 'tab style to indicate when indention level
is getting too big.  By default, four TABs are considered many
but `whitespace-many-tabs-regexp' can be configured to change
that.

I like the feature, but for source files without tabs, it wouldn't work
well, right? Maybe it should also support too much space (32 spaces by
defaults)? And I think it should be called 'too-much-indent or something
like that, because it's not about highlighting tabs per se.

bug#18732: [PATCH] whitespace-mode: add 'big-indent style highlighting big indention

[Michal Nazarewicz]

Add a 'big-indent style to `whitespace-mode' indicating when indention
level is getting too big.  By default, 32 spaces and four TABs are
considered to be a big indention but `whitespace-many-tabs-regexp' can
be configured to change that.

The regexp var was renamed to `whitespace-big-indent-regexp' so the
above note needs changing.

Copy+paste bug.

MN> +			 (const :tag "(Face) Big indentation" big-indent)

Maybe "Too much line indentation" would be a better user-facing tag.

MN> +(defcustom whitespace-big-indent-regexp
...
MN> +  :type '(regexp :tag "Big indention")

Typo in tag, and maybe reword to "Detect too much indentation at the beginning of a line".

MN> + []  C-t - toggle big indention visualization

Typo.

Looks good otherwise, I can't wait to start using it!  Thanks for
working on it.
