This doesn't apply cleanly to any of my trees, please be explicit about
which tree you are targetting once you fix this up, also:

If you change where the openning parenthesis of a function definition
occurs, you have to adjust the indentation of the second line of
arguments so that it starts precisely at the first column after the
openning parenthesis.

Thank you.
