indent-rigidly might be a workaround, but it's cumbersome for a few reasons:
- It doesn't do indent-relative, which is what I really need
- Using the numeric argument (which defaults to 1), it takes many keystrokes
What *is* indent-region doing? Can anyone define it?
Thanks for your help; it is much appreciated.
