I agree with this completely. For me it would be horror to get noticed
that any automatic process in the background modified my sources and I
cannot control it. If this really has to be done for any reason I
would prefer if this would happen in front of my eyes while I'm
editing. (Indeed I'm also not a fan of this, I want the text to be
what I type in, not what any dumb tool thinks it should be.)
T.M.
