Well, that would be optimal, but there are so many editors in the wild...
So I still think it would be good to have a batch processor, or at least
a recipe for non-emacs users on which keys to press to obtain correct
indentation, like so (from my vague memory of emacs):
 run "emacs module.scm"
 press "n" or "arrow down" until you arrive on the package recipe
 alternate "tab" and "n" until you arrive at the end of the recipe
 press "ctrl-x ctrl-somethingelse"

Also, it might be good to do one commit that fixes all indentations,
since I tend to copy wrongly indented code (from my own and other people's
recipes).
