I write a lot of Perl code, and I swear by perltidy to keep
things clean and neat.  Aside from running on full files to
clean up the mess I often inherit, I have a single-button-press
macro in the editor to invoke it on the current block of code.
I would want similar full-featured capability and convenience
from dfmt (or my own dtidy, if I were up to writing it).
