What would be unreliable?

We should insist on tests accompanying any bug fix from the start. Awkward is 
better than nothing. If the author finds it too difficult to write the test 
then we should help.

Akater, we have plenty of indentation tests for other programming modes already 
and they employ a variety of methods; there are many examples to look at. For 
instance, look at ruby-mode-tests.el; it contains a converted legacy test 
(ruby--indent/converted-from-manual-test) that reindents a separate source 
file, much like your example.

If you need further directions, we will assist.
