Right. I don't see it moving comments up on to an else line.  You are
right that if it is in the first column it will not be properly indented
so I just indent it 4 spaces before passing to BSD indent and that
works:# workaround for indent bug with 'else' handling# indent comment so BSD indent will move it        sed 's;\([}
