Oh, I thought it works like 'pp-buffer' - just by adding/removing newlines
(because everything else is handled by 'indent-sexp').

Would it be possible to do such a thing and keep it uncomplicated?
For example, to ensure there is no newline after if/when/unless, but insert
a newline after its condition, unless it's short enough to fit on one line,
etc.
