I think current behavior is at least consistent (and simple to implement), and
I agree that #2 would be the way to go to implement special nanespace indent
rules for compacted namespaces.
Personnally, I don't need namespace indentation (we use NI_None), but i can add
try to add an extra style NI_Compact to indent one level when in any number of
namespaces (e.g. indentLevel = namespaceDepth>0).
That should probably be a separate patch however?
