We allow two styles in our codebase, (1) indent to align with
opening parenthesis, or (2) indent sufficiently deeper than the
first line with HT.  The original is neither, so in that sense
it is a good thing to do in the long run.

I'll queue it for this time, but in general, I'd prefer if people
refrained from touching code only for style fixes in an area that is
touched actively in topics, unless it is done inside a topic that
has to touch that area of the code in order to do something more
than style fixes.

Thanks.
