If you can't get vim to automatically recognize the different styles you
have to work with, then you could look into adding a "modeline" to each
file. Typing ":help modeline" in vim will tell you how they work.
Adding such a line to each and every file may be a bit of work, and you
may have to convince other people working on the project that "explicit
is better than implicit".
