indent-rigidly might be a workaround, but it's cumbersome for a few reasons:
   - It doesn't do indent-relative, which is what I really need
   - Using the numeric argument (which defaults to 1), it takes many keystrokes


What *is* indent-region doing?  Can anyone define it?


Thanks for your help; it is much appreciated.
