Why?? (prog question)

[Jayton Garnett]

What about exdent or unident? Surely we should discuss these terms for
describing an un-dented indent?

Taken from Wikipedia:
"Debates over where to indent, whether to use spaces or tabs, and how many
spaces to use are often hotly debated among programmers, leading some to
classify indentation as a religious war. Different indentation styles are
commonly used. In 2006 a third method of indentation was proposed, called
elastic tabstops."
