Summary: [IDLE] auto indent/parentheses

Initial Comment:
It'd be really nice to have an automatic indent of a
line when using the "TAB" key anywhere on the line,
this feature exist in the python emacs mode and is
REALLY nice and a total time-saver.
Also, having the possibility to see which
parentheses/brackets you're closing while typing (as in
a lot of editors) would be really nice

The Parentheses/Bracket feature is already addressed by the ParenMatch
extension.

I agree that an "auto-indent-line" function would be very time-saving.

Hmm.  SF threw us another curve ball here:  the new "Data 
Type" value "Feature Requests" has only "None" as
a 
possible value for "Assigned To".  The intro text in PEP 42 
doesn't know about this either ...

Thomas explained it nicely in a followup to the PEP 42
checkin.  Included here for completeness.

"The TAB comment is pretty easy to explain: the user wants
IDLE to re-indent
the *current* line whenever he presses TAB, regardless of
where his cursor
is at that moment."

Indeed, this is how python-mode (and most language editing
modes) in Emacs works.  You typically have to type ^Q TAB to
get a real tab character inserted.

Assigning to Guido since he's the most enthusiastic IDLE
hacker, but moving it to Feature Requests and re-opening.

Added to PEP 42 and marked Later/Closed.

Assigned to Barry in the hopes that he can clarify the TAB 
business (I don't understand what this is asking for -- 
doesn't a TAB key act like a TAB key <wink> in Emacs?  
maybe I always rebound it in my Emacs days).
