Hi Uwe and Paul, thank you for your discussion.

That's right. The doc strings of `LaTeX-fill-region',
`LaTeX-fill-environment', `LaTeX-fill-section' and `LaTeX-fill-buffer'
say "Fill and indent ...".

Indeed :-(

OK, I don't object.

I tried to implement the idea of such customize option as
`LaTeX-indent-always-align-end-with-begin'. See the attached patch.

When this option is non-nil, the "optimum" indentation
\begin{equation}
  n u m=\left[\begin{array}{ll}
                2 & 25
              \end{array}\right]
\end{equation}
is obtained while
Let $E = \begin{bmatrix}
           1 & 0\\
           0 & 1
         \end{bmatrix}$ be the
         identity matrix.
is formatted badly.

When the option is nil, Paul's proposal takes effect so
\begin{equation}
  n u m=\left[\begin{array}{ll}
                2 & 25
  \end{array}\right]
\end{equation}
and
Let $E = \begin{bmatrix}
           1 & 0\\
           0 & 1
\end{bmatrix}$ be the
identity matrix.
are obtained.

This is only a tentative patch. Comments are welcome.

Regards,
Ikumi Keita
