I think I reported that bug originally.  I'm half-yay half-eek. Po Lu's use
case is definitely something to consider.

I'm in favor of tweaking the heuristic and applying it only to macro
definitions, which are (or should be) the majority of definition creating
forms.

I can't confirm right now, but I think SLIME/Sly use a similar heuristic
for Common Lisp.

The plan would be to add the indent spec only to functions that define
things, or to make those macros.
