I know that DEC offers something called lse (language-sensitive editor).
I've used the version for Ada extensively, and the one for C somewhat
(same program, I think, but different configurations).  Anyways, while
it does provide uniform-looking code, I found that the number of extra
operations involved was a big pain in the ....  IMHO, emacs is the way
to go.  It would be relatively straightforward to write up a couple of
emacs macros to do what you wish, and thereby still maintain the
flexibility that you desire in other editing operation.

The lse that I used was under VMS;  I don't know if they have versions
for other OS's.
