I believe everybody has it's own preferences definitely. Therefore
"improved" is not well chosen I admit.
It's nice, that you want to make the code more 'readable'. But IMO it's
better to add comments and rename identifiers, than to apply your

I believe that both indenting and commenting serve a purpose in
improving readability, and yes indenting is subject to arbitrary
choices. Still I believe that formalizing the indentation would be
benificial for all.
For my own purpose I use Jedi Code Format. This tool is very stable and
very customizable. It performs indentation / capitalization / cleanup
automatically and each aspect of the process can be controlled.
Last weekend, I implemented just that for Lazarus using an FPC unit.
Mattias Gaertner has the source code.
Added. See components/prettyformat/prettyformat.lpk.
Beware, it still needs a configuration dialog. At the moment it uses
defaults for the formatting, but it's extremely configurable.
Michael.
