actually I would suggest to change to a standard (such as "always 2 spaces")
that is easy to remember by a human; as far as I understood, almost nobody
knows how this Guix indentation works, one needs to either use Emacs or
copy-and-paste. Since mistakes in the current system seem to be unavoidable
without special tooling, maybe we should change the definition of "mistake"
instead of wasting time for the tooling.

I do not know whether there is a reason to sometimes indent only by 1.

Andreas
