Sorry if my last message was cryptic.  This is exactly what I meant: the
brackets.  We have a working setup for the braces which we don't want to
touch.

Yes, this would be a sort of remedy if users enable the indentation of
brackets via a t.b.d. variable and then run into trouble.  We can put
such a solution in the manual for that case.

Well, there is no such thing as a free lunch ;-)  If I enable the
indentation for brackets, there might be side effects.

I agree, we shouldn't change the current behavior big time.
