I agree, and I think editorconfig is doing all of the above.

For the record, I also saw the editorconfig plugin for Vim
strip trailing blanks from untouched lines. It is the main
reason why you find some "strip trailing slashes" commits from
myself in the relatively recenty codechange history.
I do not remember it changing indentation from non-touched lines).
