As Gregory points out, there is a package that does this already. It actually
has another issue, which is that indentation is sometimes wrong. If the second
argument of a function is on a separate line, it's indented to align with the
first argument. This position depends on the length of the prefix of the
function name:
```
(somelongprefix-do-something arg1
arg2)
```
The nameless package can align `arg2` so that it matches up with `arg1`, but
unlike the shortening of the prefix, that indentation is saved to the file.
Not dramatic, but it can occasionally be annoying.
