My point was that such code is extremely rare nowadays (or at least is
extremely rarely _edited_), and thus failure to fontify and/or indent it
correctly isn't a catastrophe IMO.  Unless you disagree with that opinion,
what you say is a tangent for this discussion (although I agree with what
you say regardless).
