Hello, Matthias

What, exactly, is wrong about that indentation?  What would you like to
see there, and why?

When I do C-c C-s on that last line, I get:

    Syntactic analysis: ((arglist-cont-nonempty 130 138) (defun-block-intro 
130) (statement-cont 130))

, which seems to be incorrect, since neither of the anchor points in the
last two of the three elements point at locations within the internal C++
constructs.  Amongst other things.
