There is no preferred indentation style for Erlang programs. I've seen god
knows everything out there. The language is parsed by an LALR(1) grammar,
so identation doesn't matter for scoping either.

I tend to indent code for readability. Some times, another indentation
style than the mandated one is far more readable. So even when using emacs,
I break the rules now and then. I don't really see that as a problem.
