Hm, you're right.  However, I still thinks it's a good idea to write
it in the right style to begin with, rather than relying on indent to
tidy up after you.  Setting the right style in Emacs makes it easier
to do so.

You also need to do M-x set-variable RET c-basic-offset RET 2 RET for
best results.
