Thanks, but we don't like pure-whitespace changes.  We fix these
issues when we change code around the places with wrong indentation.

This code changes almost never. It's been like that since 2016. It doesn't
make sense to let it sit there with formatting that obscures the structure
of the code.

I agree that we should avoid making whitespace-only changes in general.
Jim makes the point that readability counts.  He also points out that
this code changes so infrequently that we do not need to be overly
worried about any annoying merge conflicts.  I think these are valid
points.

So on balance, I'd be willing to make an exception and take this patch.
If Eli is still not convinced, I think it would be better to close this
bug and move on.  I think we can all agree it's not worth spending
energy discussing it further.
