Fair enough. > 2. Indenting a blank line results in a blank line, not a line with only > whitespace. What about indenting a line with only whitespace? I think I can see use cases both for special-casing and for not special-casing indenting empty lines. Perhaps that indicates that this, too, should be a flag. :indent-empty-lines or something? > 3.

I fail to understand what 'does not treat the first character specially' means here. Do you have an example? // Carl
