I think Damien's argument makes a lot of sense.
I think mine makes sense as well.
I can't really judge which one will work out more often right, but as
the writer of the code I decided to try out my choice.
But I don't have a really strong opinion about it (I do have a strong
opinion that the EditorConfig standard's choice is wrong, but not
whether we should follow it or not): if you think Damien's preference is
better for Emacs, I'm fine to make the change.
Otherwise, I suggest we leave it like that for Emacs-30 and see how
things turn out.
Stefan
