I tend to view latex as text with intermixed code so I see this
differently. I can see an argument for why text inside of a specific
environment might need to be indented specially, I don't see why that
would apply to top-level text outside of any environment.
I suspect we're going to agree to disagree on this one; feel free to
close this bug.
