PS:
I just figured it out; it's the Elisp way!
/^;[^;]/ is not the Elisp way ∵ *scratch* only has /^;;/, and there's some esoteric law about /[^;];[^;]/ only being inlined after an instruction, reminiscent of the syntax of C; 'tis the UNIX way, reminding us the Elisp Machine Accumulates C Supplements.
So `(setq electric-indent-mode nil)` disables it, and I thought it also disables all tabbing; this seems disabled in Elisp, but not plain text files, and http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/emacs_tabs_space_indentation_setup.html patches it. The documentation for electric-indent-mode says "If called from Lisp, enable the mode if ARG is omitted or nil.", but nil disables it; /implementation|typographical/ bug. Someone at #emacs mentioned electric-indent-mode, but my browser crashed, and webchat doesn't have private logging (into
web storage on the client side; please make this happen, but I won't
need it when I learn ERC; which hopefully shouldn't be long from now).
Anyway, this is probably a bug; goto `emacs -Q -nw`, type ";\t", and it indents the semicolon (alot); how do I stop this?
