Description Karsten Thoms CLA 2022-01-11 00:36:48 EST 
In bug#494497 a solution approach for supporting editorconfig has been proposed. editorconfig defines formatting options for an editor. The configuration is not on project level, the configuration can be overloaded in subdirectories. The solution idea there is to interpret editorconfig as preferences.

This uncovers the requirement to have preferences on file level.

Worth for discussion is if similar would be useful on level of IFolder, or even IResource. Having this on level of IResource might be too generic, since ProjectScope already exists.

This request is for adding FileScope / FilePreferences.
