Yes and no.  I'm not sure it's possible to reliably & automatically
detect Merlin source code.  It's easy enough to write a reformatter, but
you might have to select it manually from the drop-down list, and it
would show up as an option on other text files.

IIRC, it *might* be possible to detect some versions because of the weird
way that spaces are handled.
