Code editors should do this visually without adding actual space characters to the file.

[nasso_dev → hiccuphippo]

why not go even further?

store the source minified without any extraneous whitespace and let the editor display a properly indented view in your preferred style...

[hiccuphippo → nasso_dev]

An AST-based code editor. That would be neat.
