What should the prefix to prog-indent-sexp do?

[Leo Liu]

Hi there,

If you care please respond ASAP.

My proposal is to make C-u C-M-q do some sort of indent defun as shown
in this patch:

Thanks,
Leo

 It looks like this functionality amounts to C-M-h C-M-\, i.e. mark-defun
followed by indent-region, which is both more general and quicker to type
(assuming no release of modifiers between commands).

The only reason that modes provide indent-defun commands is not having
to move point first. So no, it is not the same.

IMO a good idea.

What about to use the arg as indent of top-level-form?
I.e. use syntax-ppss, not reg-exp jumping.
That would indent defuns, but also loops, defvars etc.

Should work for these cases already.

In most cases it works, in some it fails, for example from behind a badly indented

(defvar a nil "make
(beginning-more more visible
")

Whilst syntax-ppss wouldn't be irritated.

I see but this is a bug that should be fixed in lisp's
beginning-of-defun not in prog-indent-sexp.
