A stylistic question.

I use two-space indent, and I have found that it works very well. History: I
used to use tabs (with 8-stops), but that got silly fast, and I converted
to 4-stops (but still tabs). But then I got into Usenet. Tabs being frowned
upon, I got into the 2-space indent habit for Usenet posts (because it was
so much quicker!), and found that I liked it so much I adopted it for
non-Usenet code too.

I have no problem matching braces (because I lay them out Allman-style, so
it's very obvious) - and anyway, vim can jump between { and } with a single
keystroke, so even if it weren't obvious it wouldn't matter that much.

But yes, you're right - indent(1) is our friend.

gg=G preserves existing line numbers.
