Hi Will, you're correct, I was being too dismissive.  My main worry is that
automatic re-styling of the VTK code can cause "git blame" to give useless
results.  Thats why, when I wrote "vtk_reindent_code.py", I made sure that
it only modifies brace indentation and leaves all other code lines alone.
