+    ## Here and below, we test if the indentation aligns with a previous
+    ## fixindented line.  This is important so as to make it easier for the
+    ## user to verride some indentation somewhere, and also because it
+    ## reflects the fact that the indentation decision is taken with a minimum
+    ## amount of work (i.e. in the present case, without having to walk back
+    ## until the `function' line).
