Indent Enhancements (#202)

* Indent enhancements.

* Fixed to match style guidelines.

* Added in useful explanatory comment.

* Changed which selection we're using, as we don't want this kind of wrapping to happen.

* Fixed bug involving lines full of whitespace.

* Removed unecessary commit.

* Actually reverted function, so that we don't screw up commenting.

* Fixed hard tab issue.
