Nit: This has odd not-our-usual-style indentation (to align with the
"("). I didn't spot it before, but I vaguely recall seeing something
like this in another one of your patches, but maybe I misrecall. In case
not maybe some editor settings need tweaking?

I haven't looked carefully at the rest to see if the same issue occurs
in other code here.

So in this case it's not new code, but code moving, note the four spaces
after the sequence of tabs that aren't in your version.

So perhaps your editor on re-indentation is configured not to just strip
off the leading \t to re-indent (which is all that's needed here) but
strips all whitespace, then re-indents after its own mind?
