Really? I honestly fail to understand why one would want to use such a
tool at all.
It always assumes the worst scenario (bad indentation / mixed tab
spaces / copy & paste went bad) and tries to solve it by adding
unnecessary cruft.

Unless the block code is very long and/or not nicely written it's
*less* readable.
