Origin

Chocobo1 first discovered this functionality in Geany editor: detecting-indent-type
Finding autodetection preferable to reliance on systems like editorconfig, he implemented the original version.

After using the plugin for some time, I became increasingly annoyed with the plugin failing to correctly identify the indentation width for files using spaces. I was able to note some ways that the accuracy could be enhanced, however Chocobo1 was not actively supporting his version (or at least uninterested in my contributions). Hence this fork.
