Basically, what is wrong with the current indentation mechanism is its
short-sightedness.
We have a possibility to specify how to indent macro forms, by attaching
"lisp-indent-function" property to macro symbols, usually with (declare
(indent ...)) declaration. But the key moment is this: indentation analysis
is limited to only the immediate enclosing list. Once we want to indent at
some point, we find out what is the innermost containing sexp, then we take
its car and analyze it. So the car of immediate parent fully determines the
indentation pattern. No further upward search is performed.
For most cases this behavior is perfectly OK, but, as we see, for
"flet"-like forms this is not the case.
