I've never run into that problem, but it shold be simple enough to do
that in an automated way as well.  Don't reindent and pindent work as
advertised?

Reconciling indention in an indention-delimited language doesn't
correspond to reconciling indentation in a brace-delimited language,
so comparing them doesn't really make sense.
