I was trying to give (with-no-warnings ...) the same indentation as
(progn ...).  Now I have a few question:

In about 25% of the cases the lisp-indent-hook property is used to
specify the desired indentation and in the remaining 75% of the cases,
the lisp-indent-function property is used.  Is the second preferred?
(The docsting of the function lisp-indent-function suggest this.)
Should occurrences of lisp-indent-hook be renamed to
lisp-indent-function?

In most cases the indentation property is put on the symbol at the
place the symbol is defined.  Symbols that are defined in C get their
indentation property in lisp/emacs-lisp/lisp-mode.el.  There are
however a few symbols that are defined in lisp elsewhere that get
their lisp-indent-function property set in lisp-mode.el.  For example
save-selected-window, save-match-data, and with-current-buffer.  Is
there some policy wrt the place where the indentation property should
be set?

Lute.
