I agree totally that manual browsing the code is useful and the
indentation changes can slow this down. I stick with the emacs default
indent style because the indent spacing of 2 keeps the lines from wrapping
too much. I find the space for the brace to be a little easier on my eyes,
but I could care less.

In any case, we can probably use "indent" to clean up some of the current
mess and I'm certainly willing to change my indent style if people wish.
