Make formatting only selected area.

What do you think?

I think people would enjoy being able to format a selected region. I'm not sure JSCS would work with this if you select a region that isn't valid code on it's own. @mikesherov @markelog, any ideas?

Esprima would throw an error and jscs would propagate it, you could check for the parser error and do the nop otherwise autofix it.

this is a tough problem. Not sure how best to proceed...

Oleg's solution seems to work well. You could possibly pipe the selected text into jscs or construct a temp file with the selected text and feed the filename in.

Come to think of it, there is another way to try, take user selection, if it has parser bugs - iteratively increase the selection until it stops showing parser bugs, limit that increase to two-three lines so it wouldn't take too much, but don't show the new selection to the user, try to autofix that, otherwise do the nop.
