A way to hint indentation to the tooling would be nice.
Perhaps a metadata on vars such as {:body-indent #{then-clause
else-clause}} that could tell tools to indent an "if" this way:
(if condition
then-clause
else-clause)
instead of this way:
(if condition
then-clause
else-clause)
rather than the current ad-hoc special-casing that seems to be used at
present. (Ad hoc special-casing would still be needed for special forms,
including "if", but this could be used with macros and perhaps with
functions if someone wanted that.)
(Formal specification for that suggestion: the metadata key :body-indent
should have a value that is a set of symbols, which are some subset of the
symbols appearing in arglists of the bound macro/function. Editors and
pretty-printers and other tools would take this as a hint to indent the
corresponding parameters only two spaces, if on lines of their own, rather
than to align with parameters inline with the operator on the form's first
line.)
