No, there were some inconsistent lines in that patch (IIRC it was because
of poor tab spacing on my part somehow

It does explain it more clearly, except that it has no list of the spacing
indents for the various keywords.  So it gives general principles, but not
specifics.

can't be strict.  All we can do is run all code through an emacs or
emacs-equivalent indenter.
