I prefer the other style--as do others, evidently (see the example in my

That's certainly true. As I mentioned, I was actually considering a
*pretty-printer* rather than an automatic indentation tool per se. The end
results are similar, but the pretty-printer is really only the latter part
of the problem: it's predicated on already having a valid AST.
My particular use

Yes. Then the next question is "how much further in".
My answer is: it does not matter, but make it consistent (like 4 spaces),
with the implication that indentation sh
