I communicated with Eric about the need to fix awk indent plugin six years ago.
Recently, Eric sent me a new version of the plugin.
He's obviously looking at it again and trying to fix it.
Unfortunately, even the new version does not work well on my large AWK
programs. I use the standard style from "The AWK Programming Language" book by
Aho, Kernighan, and Weinberger.
I did not have motivation to further pursue the change because:
(a) I rarely write in AWK these days,
(b) I wrote my plugin which perfectly indents over 1000 lines of AWK.
I just tried Donald's program and it indents it perfectly.
Donald, can you try it and see if it works better on your other AWK programs.
It's attached.
