And the lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou write thy holy code. Indenting
shalt thou count to three, no more, no less.  Three shalt be the spaces thou 
shalt count, and the number of the counting shalt be three.  Four shalt thou 
not count, nor count thou two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three.
Eight is right out.  Once the number three, being the third number be reached,
shalt thou move towards indenting thy next line. (The Holy Editor of Antinoch)
