Re: [Caml-list] ocp-indent beta release

Hi Daniel,

Well, I can't say I really agree with your readability argument -- «wasteful and 
detrimental to code compactness» :) -- but you know... matter of taste.

Anyway, you've been heard: there is now an option "with_never=true" that states 
exactly what you asked for (never indent after try/match with, or function). 
Your example code has been added to our tests with this option and passes just 
fine.

Best,
Louis
