Re: [Bug-indent] brace-line-up feature mod for indent

[Daniel Gryniewicz]

This is not what the patch does.  With the patch, you use -bl -bli2 -blu
-i2 and get this:

if (x > 0)
  {
  x--;
  }
else
  x++;


You cannot do this with indent as it is.  If you use -bl -bli2 -i0 you
will get this:
if (x > 0)
  {
  x--;
  }
else
x++;

If you use -bl -bli2 -i2, you will get this
if (x > 0)
  {
    x--;
  }
else
  x++;

Do you see the difference?  I have been unable to get the first form. 
The included documentation (which I did read) and the code (which I also
read) don't seem to allow it.  If it's possible, please enlighten me,
and I'll use that.
