Well, putting trailing parentheses into separate lines is useful while
writing code -- I do this too, but finally they get condensed into a
single line.  We do this everywhere in the SCM files.

As a rule, we indent Scheme code almost always in the same way as the
Scheme mode of Emacs does.  There, a simple TAB keypress indents
correctly.  Additionally, Emacs provides functions to find the
matching opening parenthesis; another reason to condense parentheses.
