Cool!

To date no such rules exist. I have never used indent on Pipmak. But I 
can see if I can come up with a set of rules that approximately match my 
coding style. That would obviously be useful for contributors. I don't 
insist that everyone use exactly my style, but it would still be nice to 
keep a certain consistency.

The name comes from the pipmak, which is the thing depicted in Pipmak's 
logo. I made up the word "pipmak" for that when I was a child (or maybe 
my father or my sister did, don't remember). Now what's a pipmak? A 
movie and a picture say more than a thousand words:
