Can't you do that with Emacs' file local variables?  E.g.

;; Local Variables:
;; eval: (set-indentation '(6 4 (&whole 2 &rest (&whole 1 &lambda &body))))
;; End:

set-indentation is just a hypothetical name to illustrate the idea.
This way we wouldn't need to put anything into *features* and the file
could also be edited without connected Lisp.

Helmut.
