The responses I've gotten so far (amazingly fast, thanks folks!) show
that I need to put more constraints on this request.  In particular,
this indenter has to be:

	1) Stand-alone,
	2) Small,
	3) Portable (assume C or Scheme is available, *nothing else*)
	4) Free (including of constraints, hence no GNU code).
		(Don't worry, if it's PD, and I improve it, 
		 the improvements will be PD)

Has anyone here ever thought of writing a variant of (read) [call it
(read-with-comments)] that retains comments?  It would make writing a
"keeps comments" pretty printer much easier...

Again, please reply by mail; I'll summarize and post.

Thanks!
