I have 'autoindent' set all the time, but it doesn't always work as
I would like it to. For example,
I may have a set of lines like these,
each indented from the one above,
then I may add one ending in parentheses()
then paste one below it line this.
I would like to be able to type == to align that last line with the
one above it, but == instead aligns that last line with the first
line. The behavior has something to do with the parentheses.
Without the parentheses, == aligns the last line with the one above
it.
I thought that my 'indentexpr' would be a good way to fix this, and
it is except for my inability to unset it.
I found a solution to that problem later in this thread.

Gary
