First, please don't start new topics by replying to an email in an

Artistic Style has been suggested before, but when I looked into it the 
only API it seemed to offer required passing in the whole file. So it 
seems to me it could only be used to reformat the whole file and not for 
reformatting selections or determining how to indent the next line. Or 
am I missing something? If not, would that feature alone be really that 
useful?

No problem, it's good to know which features QtCreator misses that 
people like in other IDEs. :)

We're working towards releasing the source, but I can't say how long 
it's going take, honestly.
