Oh, I missed that.  I think we should follow GNU indent in the label
placement as well.

I'm sure it doesn't introduce bugs, but it can mangle some code.

My point is that we should accept the code processed by GNU indent
without any additional changes unless GNU indent obviously mangles the
code.  There should be no coding conventions that GNU indent doesn't
follow.

I don't think we need to reindent everything.
