Vim hard or soft tab depending on what's used in the file

Vote count:

Is there a vim command or plugin that will span the source file I'm opening, and adjust my tab setting to whatever is used in the file.

I currently work on a diverse codebase at work, with some source files using hard tabs, other 4 space soft tabs, and other's 2 space soft tabs. My hard tab, if I forgot to changes, can lead to ugly whitespace in different editors if I forget to change it when I'm editting a soft tab file.

I'd like to not have to remember to check whatever's convention is used in a file every time I open a buffer, and adjust my preferences accordingly.
