Remove dynamic indentation showing

[gracjan]

haskell-indentation had the option to put overlay underlines at positions eligible as indentation points. This was supposed to help usability and debugging of indentation algorithm. It practice is was slow, distracting and a test suite helps development much better.

Is it what hi2 provided at the time before it was integrated within indentation ?

If so I personally don't mind the removal but many users might actually like it ... Why not just disable the option by default ?

Reasons to remove haskell-indentation-show-indentations:

• haskell-indentation-show-indentations is 170 lines less to support and maintain
• some potential contributors feel intimidated by the size of haskell-indentation, this might get us below their scare limit and contribute
• the first question after integrating hi2 was integrated 'how to disable haskell-indentation-show-indentations?'
• second question was 'haskell-indentation-show-indentations interacts badly with my other modes, can you fix it?'
• haskell-indentation-show-indentations was super slow, now has caching and throttling, but it is still slow
• haskell-indentation-show-indentations is disabled by default meaning that nobody will find the switch to turn it on
• haskell-indentation-show-indentations has most probably has zero users on this planet
• we have zero unit tests for haskell-indentation-show-indentations
• we have zero documentation for haskell-indentation-show-indentations

Somehow all these questions should have come up when hi2 was integrated. I was not aware the integration had been a complete failure.

Don't want to blame anybody. I know there is a shortage of human resource and I understand the decision. Thanks for the quick response (I haven't forgot I need to contribute myself and write some docs about spacemacs ;-)

@PierreR: My response was about haskell-indentation-show-indentations only as it was a nice attempt and we have learned more in practice. Therefore I do not understand your comment in your first paragraph.

I do understand and endorse your second paragraph, though :)
