After looking at the patch again I do not think 4-SP matters.  I was
primarily worried if this was to align with some column of the first
line of output, e.g.

	error: lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing
               elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et
               dolore magna aliqua.

but that is not what this 4-SP indent is about, so it is OK.

Sorry, my bad.  You are of course right.

True.
