Kasper:

The problem with SAS is that the grammar is extremely complicated.  I've been 
improving that for the last 5 years.  Now, the grammar is mostly correct.  Most 
syntax highlighting (which is based on the grammar) is correct, but there are 
still instances that are incorrect.  Auto-indenting also takes it cue from the 
grammar, but seems to be even more sensitive to it.  I found myself fighting the 
auto-indenting more than following it.  So, I turned it off by default.  
However, there may be a way to offer it as a user option.  I'll have to think 
more carefully about that.  Thanks for the bug report.
