There's Indentation In The Air
Didier Verna's recent efforts in lambda-list indentation motivated me to look into two of my pet irritants.
- Forms beginning with default indented as if they were defun forms.
- Broken prog indentation.
After poking around sufficiently to fix them locally, I started thinking about how to make improvements like this as painless as possible -- because let's face it, there are still other issues left. cl-indent.el is distributed with Emacs/XEmacs, which makes it a somewhat slow moving target.
My plan: (1) copy current cl-indent.el to Slime as contrib/slime-cl-indent.el, replacing the ancient version already included as part of slime-indentation contrib. (2) improve it without overly worrying about pushing all changes immediately to Emacs propers.
While waiting for input from other Slime folks, I have a tree that does just that at GitHub: https://github.com/nikodemus/Slime/tree/slime-indentation. It incorporates both Didier's stuff and my more modest changes.
Do you have cl-indent.el fixes or improvements stashed away somewhere? Fork that tree, merge your stuff, and poke at me to merge it back. ...then we'll see about getting it to Slime proper.
