Well, there you go!  My only complaint is that Tab causes the file to be marked as unsaved, but usually I'm about to edit the file anyway.  Now if only I could remember why I turned auto-indent off, because I do remember making an explicit choice)...  I think it was because I didn't like how certain things were indented, like the second line of a message send that has been split across two lines.

On the other hand I think it was bbum a while back who said he just goes with whatever happens if he selects the whole file and hits Reformat -- personal taste in this or that formatting detail is not worth losing time over.

I'm just surprised there isn't a standard emacs way to do it.  I asked a friend who's used emacs since forever, and his first thought was to write a Lisp macro.
