I don't see why mixed mode is needed at all. Plain text files are simply not 
meant to scale with different tab widths. If a document has been written with 
a tab width of 8, it is expected that it will break when viewed with a tab 
width of 4.

The compiler won't care and for development projects there should be a 
proper .kateconfig file or modelines defining the tab width.

So, for sake of keeping indent scripts simple and the entry barrier as low as 
possible, I opt for keeping current behaviour which means returning the 
number of characters to indent and letting the caller decide on how to format 
the actual indentation.
