I tried this test SML program:

val _ =
    let
        val t = Timer.startCPUTimer()
    in
        count(10000000);
        print (Time.toString(#usr(Timer.checkCPUTimer(t))) ^ "\n")
    end;

and then

(setq sml-indent-level 8)

and reindented:

val _ =
    let
              val t = Timer.startCPUTimer()
    in
              count(10000000);
              print (Time.toString(#usr(Timer.checkCPUTimer(t))) ^ "\n")
    end;

So it seems to work on some bits, but not others?  You'd expect the
"let" etc also to be indented with 8 spaces, but I'm not familiar with
SML (any more).

Perhaps somebody with more knowledge of this could weigh in here.
