Hmm, perhaps half right, half wrong? It seems to tab-indent expressions like:
passert(foo &
bar);
but not if() statements.
Either way, I think best strategy is to leave code alone until it
needs changing. I'm sticking to the shipped 'linux' mode for now.

PS: the useful thing about that blob of emacs is it contained a trick
to turn on a mode for everything under a directory tree so, finally, I
get my mode enabled automatically
