I don't, but I would like to be able to run my code through the Emacs
formatter for publication purposes.  Does anyone know how to do this
from the command line?  I do have Emacs installed.

In any case, the line-up approach is relevant only to s-expressions,
not to t-expressions, where the approach is definitely based on spaces
and tabs only.
