Please let's be consistent. Let's have uniform rules. Let's don't mess
with "I indent here, not, here; ah here I do, but next time I move
these bits out, I should unindent back".  That is indentation game
playing with no added benefits.

Two spaces back over 78 isn't going to make lines unreadable; but they
make the rules harder requiring indent today, unindent tomorrow game
playing.  How many files will be shorter with the added complexity?

Oh no, please anything but not his.
