No problem.  Thanks for the feedback.  The ideas for my suggestions came from 
exploring the capabilities of other tools and I thought they seemed reasonable 
on first thought.  Anyway, I guess what you're saying is that indent strictly 
operates on modifying, deleting, or adding white space.  Is that because you 
wanted to limit the scope of the tool?  I guess it probably complicates things 
significantly when you have to build in syntactic knowledge.


Thanks again,
Greg

indent doesn't make tea either.

In case my comment is too cryptic, it is not in the scope of indent's
purpose to change syntactic elements of the code. You might just as
incorrectly ask the vim team to do it ;-)
