I just spent 2 hours trying out indent. As far as I can tell, -bli
doesn't work, and I could find no way to put statements in block at the
same level with the block's parentheses. So what I want is this:

int myfunc()
   {
   do_something();
   do_more();
   if(mybool)
      {
      do_special()
      }
   }


If you know a way to accomplish the preceding with indent, please let
me know. Closest I could get was

int myfunc()
{
   do_something();
   do_more();
   if(mybool)
      {
         do_special()
      }
}


Eeeeuuuuu, ugly, confusing, and inconsistent. I'd rather just keep
doing it Vim's way:

int myfunc(){
   do_something();
   do_more();
   if(mybool){
      do_special()
   }
}


The preceding is at least consistent, and the ending brace is at the
level of the statement running the block, which at least is fathomable
if you get used to it.
