Add .editorconfig for consistent code formatting (#38)
Xcode 16 added support for the [EditorConfig
standard](https://editorconfig.org/)[^1]. This allows a project/repo to
specify basic formatting rules so the editor can behave correctly.[^2]
> [!NOTE]
> You may need to quit and relaunch Xcode for it to pick up the
`.editorconfig` file after switching to a branch where it's present.[^3]
The added `.editorconfig` file contains:
```
# editorconfig.org
root = true
[*]
indent_style = space
indent_size = 2
trim_trailing_whitespace = true
insert_final_newline = true
```
- `root = true`: Specifies that this is the top-most .editorconfig file.
The file search will stop here.
- `indent_style = space`: Uses soft tabs (spaces) for indentation
instead of hard tabs.
- `indent_size = 2`: Sets the indentation to 2 columns.
- `trim_trailing_whitespace = true`: Removes any whitespace characters
preceding newline characters.
- `insert_final_newline = true`: Ensures the file ends with a newline
when saving.
These settings apply to all files in the project (`[*]`).
**This change make much easier the process of switch between projects
that use 2-space and 4-space indentation (what is quite common in your
community).**
