After a bit more thought, here is a higher level summary:

1. All incoming lines will have an ancestor that is not the top-level (kind 
== 'outer') node. This means that the outer node will contain only the 
following test:

@others
@language python
@tabwidth -4

One could imaging different tabwidth values, but in practice -4 will 
suffice.

2. Crucially, no complex adjustments of indentation values are needed.  The 
lws of @others directives, combined with the rules for creating nodes, 
ensures that this is so.

In other words, gen_lines need only consider the relation between the 
indentation of the present line and the indentation of the relevant parent 
node.

That's all!  The rules described today are likely still valid, but the 
above two rules should guide the remaining coding effort.
