You could write a macro that allows you to say

    (with-acm-indent++
      (let ((a a-binding)
            (b b-binding))
        FORMS))

Something like this might work:

(defmacro with-acm-indent++ (&rest body)
  `(let ((indent-spaces (concat indent-spaces "    ")))
     ,body))

I haven't tested it, but maybe you get the idea.
