Good to know.

If you want to put it in earlier, it would be one less thing I have to
maintain :)

Done.

Okay.

Done.

Done.  I also adjusted the comment in do_unindent() among similar lines.

The new version is attached.

There's one minor addition to the new version, as well: the short
descriptions in the help text for indent and unindent are updated to
make it clearer what they do.  First, indent and unindent are not exact
inverses of each other, and the help text should not imply that they
are; second, unindent's ability to remove whitespace that's a mixture of
tabs and spaces is undocumented outside the code, which is a problem.
