True. Although you could run indent on it for reading in, and use the
other version for hacking and after you understood the code.
Or do a pure indentation change once every few years ;-), I could live
with that, although I'm not sure about others...

If that line was really changed, ok. But please don't change indentation
for lines that otherwise haven't changed. It makes checking patches a
big lot more difficult, believe me.
And a new if around the code doesn't change its meaning that much after
all...
