From the info file:

  "While an attempt was made to get `indent' working for C++, it will
not do a good job on any C++ source except the very simple."

That's not the (quite) same as not working.  I actually ran indent on
the example Murray provided, and the result looked fine.  I've also
used indent on other C++ code in the past and been perfectly satisfied
with the results.  Maybe we should try out some more complex
real-world examples, and see if it's good enough for our purposes.
