when you say "everything" you really mean "nothing", right? Notice that
the line is empty. There is nothing to indent and these blanks are quite
unnecessary. It's a bit of a stretch to say that the pretty printer
should be adding them despite the fact that they serve no purpose.

Well, if there is no other choice, then I'll do that.

Take care,
