<conversation mode on>The last time I applied gdb_indent.sh to ada-lang.c
and committed the patch (I had barely started at AdaCore then), it showed
me how extraordinarily powerful Paul Hilfinger is. He showed incredible
restraint and politeness in the way he complained about some of the
horrible results that we got from it. And despite his restraint, I was
sure glad he was 9 time zones and 14 flying hours away at the time ;-).

It would be interesting to see if GNU indent does better nowadays.
The GNU indent page seems a bit terse, but looking at the FTP site,
it looks like a minor release we made in Feb 2009 - the first since
Dec 2002. Hum!
