H::T doesn't recurse very well, but it does loops nicely.  What I end up
doing is putting all messages in a single TMPL_LOOP.  The indentation
level is then used to make a dummy TMPL_LOOP within that one, which is
used by the template however it needs to be... at the moment, I think I'm
just using nonbreaking spaces to indent it.  You could use clear graphics
to do the same thing.

If you were willing to accept less of a separation between template and
code, you could pass a simple variable instead (level*N), and use it for
the width of a clear graphic, or an empty table cell.  Or if you're using
expressions, you could pass the level value as is, and multiply it by the
desired amount within the template.
