Thanks for the suggestion but I think it might make it harder to check.
The Lindent changes would still be > 100K so it would end up split into
3 patches, and the last patch would be changing code that was already
changed in patches 1 and 2.

I'd prefer to leave it split into two patches and submit it inline
really. Each of the two patches is independent - they change different
