Is there a functional or historical reason for indent-region's
behavior when no region is set, or is it simply accidental?
In looking at the newish emacs blog http://emacsredux.com/, I found
a suggestion to make it indent the buffer if called with no region,
which seemed like a reasonable choice.
Thanks in advance,
~Chad

Speaking for myself,
I mark the current defun and indent it. Sometimes, indenting the whole
buffer introduces whitespace changes in areas that is unrelated to my
specific edit.
