True, but it still seems like trying to fit a square peg into a round
hole.

I'm working on a patch to propose to Bram which will emit an error to
the user if Vim is built with -cindent and 'equalprg' isn't set.  I see
this as a better solution than Vim filtering the text through an
arbitrary and undocumented external program.

If he isn't amenable to that, then I guess I can settle for using
Recommends.
