I don't trust indent to go through my source files without making any
indenting mistakes; I find that any source file that was typed with anywhere
near what I consider to be reasonable indenting gets made worse by indent.
But, I have been using indent for some time now and I've never seen 
any changes in anything other than whitespace. Well, there was that
bug where it would change >>= to >> = .
