Not only diff and emacs. At least joe (joe.sf.net) is another editor
whose %y tag or so also takes lines with

	no space at the front and properly paired parens,braces,etc.

as key lines for %y. Since usually, functions are the only thing at
the beginning of a line, this works well. That's why labels should
be allowed to be indented by one.
