I agree. And I would add that this is not a bug (not a defect, etc) at
all. It is perfectly valid syntax. If you're going to open up bugs on
this, then you might as well file a bug against the kernel for not
indenting like GNU does, against libc for not indenting like Linus does,
and against gnome for not indenting like either of them do.
